School Description

All pupils at Compass Community School Athelstan Park have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They have had negative experiences of education in the past. Many have had significant periods where they did not attend school at all. Staff build positive relationships with pupils so that they begin to feel that school is a safe and enjoyable place. Consequently, pupils attend well. Leaders seek pupils’ views and use these when making decisions. This helps pupils build their trust in school staff and to feel valued. Staff are aspirational for pupils. They care about them and want them to do well. When leaders have raised expectations, such as when dealing with some types of behaviour, pupils have responded to them. However, there remain aspects of school life where pupils do not comply with what is being asked of them. In addition, some pupils treat one another, or staff, with disrespect. Swearing is commonplace and not always challenged by staff. In the primary phase, this is not the case. Pupils are typically tolerant of one another. Pupils are beginning to form more positive relationships with one another. For example, providing informal football coaching to younger pupils during social time.
