Compass Community School Vicarage Park is an innovative new provision for 8-18 year-old pupils with Special Educational Needs located in rural Shropshire. We are part of a passionate, well-respected and progressive family of schools, where everyone is valued and encouraged to reach their potential, regardless of their starting points or barriers to learning.
We are a small independent special school, which provides a personalised education for up to 14 pupils with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD). All of our pupils have complex needs, behaviours which challenge, and many will have suffered significant trauma and adverse childhood experiences. As a trauma informed organisation, all staff are provided with extensive therapeutic training and support. Our closely triangulated approach places the child at the centre of decision making, ensuring that education and therapy professionals, parents/carers, local authority teams and, most importantly, our pupils can work together to secure outstanding outcomes for all.

We love our school and we think you will too! Our school has:
Developing young people who are responsible, caring and respectful of others, and who have a strong sense of fair-ness and what is ‘right’. We want them to treat others as they would like to be treated themselves and to understand and celebrate diversity and difference.
The school will help our children and young people to develop an inner discipline and will encourage pupils to not just ‘follow the crowd’ – they will make up their own minds and be ready to accept responsibility for what they do. They will grow through making choices and holding to the choices that they have made. They will want to be honest with themselves and with others.
A passion to include everyone.
A desire to treat everyone equally.
To celebrate all achievement.
A commitment to healthy, open and respectful relationships.
A deep sense of purpose that things can change and be transformed for the better.
A sense of perseverance to keep going for as long as it takes.
An acceptance that failure is not the opposite of success, it is a part of success.
We’d love to talk to you about how we could support a child in your care.
