Operation Encompass
Our school has been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly between schools and South Yorkshire Police. This project is known as Operation Encompass.
Operation Encompass is the notification to schools that a child (under 18) has been exposed to, or involved in, any domestic incident. This will ordinarily be done by the start of the next school day.
Please see the documents below regarding Operation Encompass.
Online Safety
Please look in our 'Curriculum' tab, on the 'Online Safety' page to see our teaching overview for Online Safety lessons, across all year groups. If you would like any more information about these lessons, please speak to your child's class teacher.
