All Village Schools Partnership Schools are part of Operation Encompass. you can read more about Operation Encompass HERE.

Being an Operation Encompass School means that is there is domestic abuse that your child witnesses or experiences, attending police officers will ensure the school is aware what has taken place before the next school day so that your child's teacher is able to be prepared to make the days following as comfortable as possible, whether that's allowing a teddy to be brought in, to giving special one to one time.
