About Compass School

Compass School Southwark is a four-form entry, mixed, 11-18 free school that opened in September 2013. Founded by a varied and experienced group of Trustees, the school will grow to offer an exceptional education to 600 young people in the heart of Bermondsey by 2017. Compass School Southwark is the first school to be opened by the Compass Schools Trust.

The Principal and Governing Body are now looking to expand and grow our strong team, to build on the work undertaken so far and to support our continuing success.

This is a unique opportunity in a challenging, urban environment where three quarters of our students are eligible for the pupil premium. Our aim is to grow a school which inspires our students to fulfil their potential. Our philosophy is simple: to have extremely high expectations of our students, of ourselves, and of what we can achieve.
Applications close on Monday 15 June, 12 noon.
