At Compass Point, we work hard to ensure all children achieve their full potential in the academic, artistic, social, spiritual and emotional aspects of learning. We offer all learners an engaging, exciting and immersive range of experiences that are designed to capture, inspire and ignite learning. As a school, we have created and implemented an enquiry based curriculum with a focus on skills progression and creativity. 

In 2015 an extension on the front of the school was added to incorporate a modern and open plan Nursery space as well as two additional classrooms. The extra room has meant that we can have dedicated music, art and cookery spaces for the children to use.  We are also fortunate to have our own on-site forest school and large school field for outdoor learning and PE.

In September 2022, we opened our first Resource base class for children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and the following year, following a refurbishment of part of our building, we expanded to include another two classes taking the total number of children to 24.  The resource base is set to expand again in Sept 2024.  Our vision for all our children is to provide high quality teaching and learning experiences and an education that fosters ambition and prepares children for the future.

In November 2023 Ofsted awarded us a 'Good'rating.
