Compass School is a specialist Alternative Provision for pupils (KS1 – KS4) who require additional support because of exclusion or other reasons and who would not otherwise access education in a mainstream school. We aim to encourage and foster a motivation for learning that will stay with pupils throughout their future.

At the heart of our approach is a rooted commitment to recognising and addressing the diverse needs of our pupils, many of whom have faced unique challenges that have impacted their learning journey.

In acknowledging the importance of forging strong connections between pupils, staff, and the broader school community, we embrace a Trauma informed approach with nurture at the heart of practice. We believe that positive relationships are fundamental to effective teaching and learning. By prioritising connection and understanding, we aim to create an atmosphere where pupils feel safe, valued, and supported on their educational path.

At Compass School we aim to remove any barriers to learning and give all pupils a positive learning experience that equips them for a successful future.

At our most recent Ofsted in 2024, we retained our "Good" grading.
