Is there anyway to add a passcode to stop your child unlocking school mode?

We purchased the watch for our 10 year old now he’s taking the bus to school and the school mode was one of the main reasons we chose the iwatch. However after setting it up, we found out that our son can exit school mode himself during the set school hours. Is there anyway to add a passcode to prevent this?

Hello, I don’t believe this is possible. This article https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211782 explains how to use it, but it is disabled when the child wants. It will turn back on once the kid is done using it and has put their wrist down. It is so they can check messages. Try going to screen time settings and turning off any games on the watch during school time.
