The team are at the school all week as part of an initiative to work with pupils and staff, and are taking part in all the lessons as well as spending time in the playgrounds at lunchtime and playtime, talking and playing with the children.

They are even taking part in assemblies.The mobile police station is at the front of the school at the beginning and end of each school day so parents also get the chance to meet their local officers and there was a drop-in session for parents yesterday afternoon where they discussed local issues with the police team.
