The education secretary will promise the guidance during her party conference speech - even though a recent consultation concluded no government intervention was needed.
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan will make the announcement later today during the Conservative Party conference, which is being held in Manchester this week.However, the proposal has raised some eyebrows around the event, as many schools have already instituted a ban.
As it will just be guidance, the new rule would also not be enforceable, meaning it will still be up to individual schools to decide on their policy.schools minister Nick Gibb But a consultation by the Department for Education on a ban in 2022 concluded most schools"have well developed plans in place" to tackle the issue, adding:"Further intervention from government isn't necessary."The general secretary of teaching union NASUWT, Dr Patrick Roach, said:"The government needs to focus on properly supporting the work of teachers and headteachers rather than announcements designed to detract attention from more than a decade of policy failure.
"If the government introduces blanket bans that are unenforceable, this will make the behaviour crisis [in schools] worse, not better."
