💨 Abstract

Philip Morant School in Colchester has revised its 'no physical contact' policy, now allowing handshakes, fist bumps, and 'daps' among students. The initial rule, implemented due to increased physical behavior disrupting learning, faced criticism and an online petition. The new policy permits consensual, respectful physical interactions outside classrooms, excluding actions like 'bone squashing,' tripping, or 'birthday bumps.'
