All staff, including temporary staff and volunteers are subject to stringent background checks including clearance with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) to ensure their suitability for working with children.
Whilst the prime focus of Stalyhill Infant School is to secure the best educational provision for the child, the school believes that the safety, welfare and care of children is paramount.

Operation Encompass
Our school is part of a scheme that runs between Stalybridge schools and Greater Manchester Police. This project is called Operation Encompass. It aims to support children who are affected by domestic violence by ensuring that their school is informed. This allows the school to then support the children.
If you have any questions about this project, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
