Compass School was established to provide an outstanding education for our community, meaning the best teaching standards and highest aspirations for every child.
Our school vision says: “Everyone in the Compass community will confidently reach the destination to which they aspire”.
Pupils are motivated by our values of aspiration, integrity, exploration and resilience. These aspects of school life help them to aim high and develop their character, while enjoying their learning and making many friends along the way.
