38 PROFILES The Compass School
The Compass School remains East Lothian’s only independent primary school providing quality education for boys and girls from pre-school to Primary Seven. Children attending the School enjoy its friendly and caring environment in which they can feel secure and happy and in which they are encouraged to succeed, developing confidence, skills and ability. Its small class sizes allow each child to enjoy a very high level of individual attention.
The School has received ‘Excellent’ in every aspect of
its provision by the Care Inspectorate, reflecting the quality and high standards of care and nurturing its children enjoy. Following this, HM Inspectors from Education Scotland highlighted the high quality learning, the motivating and exciting experiences which the children enjoy and the high expectations of achievement which exist within the School. The School offers a comprehensive and wide-ranging curriculum, with French and swimming being taught from the age of four. There is a strong emphasis on developing sound skills in Literacy and Numeracy and Science, History
and Geography are taught as specialist subjects from Primary Five upwards. The School has an excellent track record in preparing children for entrance assessments into secondary education. The School has received two national
awards for digital learning, becoming one of Scotland’s first Digital Schools. As well as enjoying the challenges of academic subjects, children also enjoy opportunities for music, drama, art and a wide range of sports, regularly achieving excellent results at local and national level.
The School also offers a wide-ranging outdoor education programme with annual visits to the Scottish highlands, outward bound centres in Perthshire and Peebleshire, and expeditions to York, London and France. Extra-curricular activities are also an important feature of school life. The School provides before and after-school care; from 7.45am in the morning until 6pm in the evening.
