The Compass School is the East of Scotland’s most affordable independent primary and nursery school. In adding value to a child’s education, here at The Compass School, Haddington, pupils enjoy a comprehensive academic curriculum together with sporting opportunities and a wide range of extra-curricular activities. The School, which is non-selective, caters for pupils from the age of 4 and welcomes children at all stages up to the age of 12.
In recent years The Compass has been awarded Gold status twice as a UN Rights Respecting School in recognition of the strong values of respect and the support of others to which the School aspires. The School also became one of Scotland’s first ever Digital Schools in recognition of the way in which digital technology is embedded in the School’s curriculum and daily life. These awards reflect the School’s commitment to ensuring that its children enjoy the very best of personal and educational experiences during their time at the School.
With small class sizes (ave. 16 children) and high teaching standards from nursery to Primary 7, parents can be sure their child will receive individual attention tailored to meet their needs. Over the years, the School has been awarded ‘Excellent’ in every aspect of its provision by the Care Inspectorate, reflecting the quality and standards of care and nurturing its children enjoy. The Compass’s pre-school year has recently been listed as being one of the top 5 nurseries in The Lothians. The friendly and caring environment at The Compass ensures children feel secure and happy while they develop their confidence, knowledge, skills and ability.
The Compass has specialist teachers for French, PE, Judo Music & History, as well as providing Science and Digital Technology throughout the curriculum. Children enjoy opportunities in music, drama and art and, an excellent sporting programme including weekly swimming and judo and sports such as rugby, hockey, cricket and tennis. Studies are not confined to the classroom and each year children embark on trips to the Borders, the Highlands, London, York and, in their final year, France. Children are encouraged to learn and play together, forging friendships which endure long after they leave.
Ever conscious of the daily pressures that parents face, the School also provides before and after-school care from 7.45am until 6pm as well as a daily morning bus service leaving North Berwick with pick-ups at other points in East Lothian. Financially assisted places are available.
The Compass provides quality independent education her in East Lothian, without the need to travel into Edinburgh; saving time, money and reducing the impact on the environment that such journeys can have.
