Compass School Information

Compass School is situated in Southampton. The school provides transitional, full time education and support for up to 160 learners who are not accessing mainstream schools. Our pupils are aged 5 to 16 covering the four Key Stages. The ethos at Compass School is one where all staff promote educational and social inclusion linking academic progress and 'learning to learn'. The philosophy of 'Nurture' is central to the curriculum and staff work and plan together to enable pupils to access a differentiated, aspirational, academic curriculum that is designed to challenge and engage. We have an inclusive philosophy, and believe passionately in giving every learner the opportunity to succeed. We are committed to working with our young people and their families, so together we can support them back into full time education in school, further education or employment. Pupils are referred directly to Compass School via the LA Vulnerable Pupils Manager for permanently excluded pupils. Alternatively, requests for dual roll places are made by mainstream schools via Southampton's "In Year Fair Access" or "Primary Heads Inclusion Group".
