The Compass Academy prides itself on providing the highest standard of education to all students, regardless of their background.

We believe that those who have the least should be given the most. We achieve this through providing all pupils, but particularly those who have the most challenging and complex backgrounds, with a rigorous and academic education which challenges them, not only academically, but also in terms of their place in society.

We teach Character Education to prepare our pupils for life beyond the school gates and to give them the opportunity to flourish in modern society. We believe that there is a strong link between character and attainment, and that success is not measured simply by quantifiable outcomes such as test results and attendance figures. Achievement is praised through good attitudes towards learning coupled with good effort.

We believe that if you look after the whole child, then everything else will fall into place. Developing our pupils to have skills alongside knowledge is the key to success. All our pupils get the chance to achieve, be resilient, tolerate others and make great choices for life – in and outside school.

We strive to create an environment where each individual can flourish irrespective of their previous difficulties. We take a holistic approach to developing our pupils from support for families, to bespoke educational programmes leading to successful onward transition.

Together we will create powerful and collective experiences of compassion, courage, achievement & meaning. Ultimately, supporting & encouraging our pupils to chart their own course through life as successful citizens. We believe each and every member of our Compass family has the right to be successful, feel valued, loved and cared for.

The journey to success starts here!
