From the Compass School Southwark
For students between the ages of 11 and 16, Compass School is a 600-seat free institution in Southwark. It was developed with the exclusive goal of helping local families receive excellent education. This entails the greatest standards for instruction, the highest hopes for each student, and the highest demands placed on them. Everything we do is guided by our mission statement, which reads, "Everyone in the Compass School Community will confidently reach the destination to which they aspire." Compass School was established in September 2013 to carry out these objectives and promises. The institution is a public school in the area that provides high academic standards, a clear code of conduct, and an atmosphere that will help every student reach their greatest potential. This involves a commitment to the basics of literacy and numeracy, to serving our pupils through a longer school day and to focus on developing their ability to relate to the world around them from their peers to the workplace. Compass School believes that every pupil has something to offer to their friends, their community and to society and we will make a commitment to each of our pupils to support them in developing themselves and their talents while they are with us. Compass will offer the bearings and the route map to assist students choose and complete their journeys, no matter who they are or where they envision themselves going. Our staff members will stand up for their students by exhibiting natural authority and developing connections of support both within and outside the classroom.
