At The Compass Centre, we believe every young person deserves the chance to find their way—no matter where they’ve started. As an Alternative Education Provision, we focus on transforming behaviour, rebuilding confidence, and helping children and young people reconnect with their true north. In this work, we are supported by our valued partners, The Eden School, Options 180, and Every Contact Counts, who share our commitment to brighter futures.
Many of our learners arrive at a crossroads in life. Some have struggled in mainstream settings, faced exclusion, or carry emotional and social challenges that block their progress. Our role is to help them reset the map—rediscovering the direction that leads to growth, purpose, and a renewed sense of possibility.
We provide a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where every young person is supported holistically—academically, emotionally, and socially.We help our learners see that change is not only possible—but that they have the power to lead it.
Get Started
We focus on building trust first, creating a safe space where children feel valued and understood before guiding their growth.
Our therapies run hand-in-hand with education, helping youths heal emotionally while achieving academically.
We create consistency and open doors to new possibilities, giving each child the tools to thrive and believe in themselves.
We offer a range of evidence-based therapeutic interventions tailored to individual needs, including:
- Trauma-informed care
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Play and Art Therapy
- SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health) support
- Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation
- Mentoring and Life Coaching
- Restorative Practice
- Anger Management & Behaviour Reflection Sessions
- Grief and Loss Support
Our staff team includes trained therapeutic practitioners who work closely with students to build self-awareness, emotional literacy, and coping strategies.
While we understand that emotional and behavioural growth is vital, we also believe in academic success. We help children re-engage with learning in a way that feels achievable, meaningful, and empowering.

Our goal is not just to support behaviour—but to transform it. Not just to teach—but to empower.
