Admission Details

Compass Community School Cheshire welcomes referrals from Local Authorities as well as referrals for pupils with placements in Compass Children’s Homes and with Compass Foster Carers. Before a student starts their placement at a Compass Community School, we endeavour to gather as much information as we can about them to ensure that can support them in the right way, right away. This includes their most recent EHCP or PEP where present, school reports, EP Assessments and anything else that might help us to understand the child. We also request end of KS2 results so we can build an accurate picture of a pupil’s individual needs and set suitably challenging targets. We seek input from all appropriate parties including parents and carers, previous schools and all other professionals in a child’s network. Arrangements for the child, parent/carer to attend an informal visit to the school Sharing of key info and policies with the child, parent or carer Arrangements for baseline assessment by the school Specialist staff to develop a short induction timetable to support their transition into our school environment When a pupil is placed at a Compass Community School, part of the initial planning process will include: School visits are an integral part of the admissions process. They are a great opportunity for pupils and their parents or carers to ask questions, get a feel for the environment and see what our schools have to offer. Some pupils may need multiple visits before they start with us, which we are more than happy to arrange, as well as visits from relevant professionals.
