The Compton School has been delivering an outstanding education to its students for over 30 years. We are one of a small number of schools nationally to have received five consecutive 'Outstanding' Ofsted judgements, with the most recent in March 2024.

Our Mission: Excellence for All

Our aim is simple:

To deliver the best possible education for all students to maximise their achievements so that they are academically, socially, and emotionally prepared to take their place in society as successful adults.

What Excellence Means to Us

  • Personal Development: We help students develop the knowledge, values, and skills to make a positive impact in their communities.
  • High Aspirations: Every student is encouraged to aim high, meet their potential, and embrace the challenges of the future.
  • A Safe and Inclusive Space: Students are supported every step of the way, from their first day to their journey into adulthood.
