EduHelm puts pupils' own phones into focus mode automatically during school hours — managed by your school. No hardware to buy, nothing to lose or break, and no pupil data stored.
Register your interestNew statutory guidance expects schools in England to be mobile-phone-free by default during the school day. Pouches and lockers are expensive, get lost or broken, and still need constant policing — and outright confiscation creates friction with pupils and parents.
EduHelm takes a different approach: it works with the phone pupils already carry, switching it into focus mode automatically at school and back to normal when they leave — with your staff in full control.
Set up once. From then on it runs itself.
Pupils install EduHelm on their Android phone, with parent/guardian consent.
Using a school geofence and your timetable, distracting apps are limited automatically during the school day.
Unlock a single phone or a whole year group in seconds from a secure web dashboard.
Off the school site or outside school hours, it's an ordinary phone again.
All the focus, none of the hardware.
No pupil action needed — focus mode follows your hours and location on its own.
No pouches or lockers to buy, replace, or manage. It uses phones pupils already own.
A secure dashboard to unlock individuals or year groups instantly, and set your hours.
No pupil names are ever stored on our servers. Location never leaves the phone.
Calls and approved learning apps keep working during focus mode.
Permit the apps you want available — like Sparx, Brainscape or a calculator.
The questions your DPO and SLT will ask — answered by design.
