The curriculum at The Compass School is a seven-year journey. Reading lies at the heart of the academic curriculum (The Reading Framework: Teaching the Foundations of Literacy, DFE July 2021).

Pupils study English, Mathematics, the Sciences, Humanities (History, Geography, RE), MFL, Food/DT, IT, Art, Music, Careers and work-related learning, PSHE and Physical Education. Curriculum maps are provided for Years 3-4, Years 5-6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, Year 10.

Admissions Criteria

Discussions between Havering LA and The Compass School establish if the School is suitable for the child’s age, ability, aptitude and special educational needs; the child’s placement in the School is compatible with the efficient education of the other pupils with whom the child would be educated; the placement is an efficient use of resources; and the Local Authority names the School in the child’s Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) based on its ability to cater for the child’s specific needs, or, rarely, the pupil is admitted for assessment, or because of changed circumstances requiring specialist interventions.
