This is one hell of a class divide emerging:
According to the research, 53pc of eight-year-olds attending Deis schools [in less-advantaged areas] own a smartphone, compared with just 22pc of children the same age in non-Deis schools.
The figures also show that 93pc of eight-year-olds from less advantaged areas have created a social media account, compared with 69pc in middle-class neighbourhoods.
