Our school is part of Operation Encompass 

Operation Encompass is a national police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people who experience domestic violence and abuse.This is in place in every police force in England and Wales. Children were recognised as victims of domestic abuse in their own right in the 2021 Domestic Abuse Act. Operation Encompass means that the police will share information with our school about all police attended domestic abuse incidents which involve any of our children prior to the start of the next school day.
