Students in our School figured out, that Widgets and Focus cancel restrictive Settings you set with Jamf. For example: With an other Focus you can change your Homescreen and use Widgets. If you lock the Screen with an App like Classroom you also can get around the Screenlock by clicking a Widget like the clock.

Is it possibly to block Focus or at least Widgets on other Focuses?

Same here - students have been setting focus modes to change wallpapers and it has caused issues with, for example, it disconnecting devices from the network so we can’t easily send a bypass lock screen command. There must be some way to prevent custom modes being set.

This sounds like something you need to submit Apple Feedback for if you have not already.
