## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Compass School - A Game Changer for Our Son: We were referred to Compass School by our local authority due to our son's behavioural issues. The school's approach to teaching and learning has been a game changer for him. The staff are caring, understanding, and have a real passion for helping students succeed. We have seen a significant improvement in his behaviour and academic progress. Thank you, Compass School! *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Compass School - A Safe and Supportive Environment: My child has been attending Compass School for a few months now, and we have seen a significant improvement in their behaviour and academic progress. The school's commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment is commendable. The staff are approachable and responsive to our needs. We are proud to have our child at Compass School. *(Jan 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed Emotions: We have mixed feelings about Compass School. On the one hand, the teachers and staff are caring and dedicated. They have helped our child with their academic struggles. On the other hand, we felt that the school's approach to behaviour management was too punitive at times. We also wished for more opportunities for our child to engage in extracurricular activities. We hope that the school will take our feedback on board and make some changes. *(Dec 2021)*
- **4/5** — A School That Truly Cares: My child attended Compass School for a short time, but the impact was immense. The teachers and staff were like a second family to us. They worked with us to develop a personalised learning plan that catered to our child's needs. The school's focus on mental health and wellbeing is outstanding. We are grateful for the time our child spent at Compass School and highly recommend it. *(Sep 2021)*
