Murdered transgender teenager Brianna Ghey’s school has banned mobile phones during the day in a move which has “reduced” pupils’ stress levels, the headteacher said.

Emma Mills, head of Birchwood Community High School in Warrington, Cheshire, told The Mirror that special pouches used to lock students’ phones during the day were introduced in September.
