Looking for a phone-free school policy?
Novi combines seamlessly with existing out of sight policies, turning students devices into ‘brick phones’, whilst keeping essential apps for disabled students.
Effortless Enforcement
Novi’s teacher dashboard is designed with simplicity at its core. It syncs with every School Management System to display compliance per classroom.
Teachers immediately receive a notification should a student in their classroom exit the focus mode in any way.
Student onboarding can be completed in just one form time.
Ofsted Compliance Trail
From September 2026, Ofsted will inspect how schools manage mobile phones. Schools will need to prove their policy actually works.
Currently, proving effectiveness usually means relying on every student keeping their phone out of sight, a single visible phone during an inspection can undermine an entire policy.
Novi changes that. Our teacher dashboard generates a clear, shareable record of policy effectiveness over time, showing reduced phone usage across your school.
So instead of hoping every student complies in the moment, you can walk into an Ofsted inspection with demonstrable and trackable proof that your phone policy works.
Inclusive By Design
Existing solutions, such as pouches, discriminate against SEND students such as diabetics who require apps to scan their blood sugar.
We take these students though a custom onboarding process to keep their essential apps on their phones.
