Welcome to The Compass School.

As of September 2025, we are now in our third year and have expanded into primary with a Year 4/5 and Year 6 class, and going up to year 11.

As a small school for pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs, we provide a broad and balanced curriculum, alongside bespoke support for our pupils’ mental health and wellbeing and help for pupils to understand themselves and their emotions.

This support is woven into our school day through our trauma-informed approach to working with our pupils. This year, we are further developing our enrichment offer and planning more trips and visits after our amazing school trip to Stubbers at the end of the summer term. We want all our pupils to enjoy their time at The Compass School and to experience a wide range of opportunities beyond the classroom-based curriculum.

We will continue to grow over the coming years and will have a primary phase (Key Stage Two) and a secondary phase for pupils in Key Stage Three (11-14) and Key Stage Four (14-16). We will have 24 places for pupils at Key Stage Two, 24 places for pupils at Key Stage Three and 22-24 places for Key Stage Four. We have space for up to 60 pupils.

This is a very exciting time to join us, as a pupil or as a member of staff and we look forward to welcoming you to one of our regular open events, if you want to find out more about us.
