Our Mission
At Compass Education, our mission is to foster inclusive educational communities through the development of inter-school partnerships. We provide resources and collaborative platforms that enable schools to share best practices, drive innovation, and develop strategies for student success. Our aim is to support schools in cultivating globally aware and responsible students who can help our city thrive.

Aims
To create a collaborative inter-school partnership across Sheffield that promotes inclusive education, enhances student outcomes, and drives innovative solutions to current challenges. By strengthening ties between schools and the wider community, this partnership will foster a more supportive and holistic approach to education.
Strength in Partnership
​
We believe that the most effective educational change happens when schools, educators, and communities work together. By fostering strong partnerships across our network of schools throughout Sheffield, we create a united front to tackle shared challenges, exchange best practices, and amplify impact. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that no school is left to face difficulties alone.
​
Inclusive Education as a Collaborative Effort
​
True inclusion is not just about policies—it’s about practice. We champion an approach where every student, regardless of background or ability, has access to high-quality education that meets their needs. This requires collaboration between teachers, school leaders, families, and external experts to create learning environments where all students feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
​
Foster Innovation
​
Education should continuously evolve to meet the needs of modern learners. We encourage schools to embrace creative approaches, integrate new inclusive strategies, and explore forward-thinking solutions that enhance student engagement and outcomes. Through research-driven insights and shared learning, we help schools implement innovations that are both meaningful and sustainable.
​
Practical Solutions & Support
​
Our focus is on delivering tangible, real-world solutions that schools can implement with confidence. Whether it’s through tailored resources or collaborative problem-solving, we aim to ensure that our work leads to practical improvements in classrooms and school communities. Our goal is not just to inspire change, but to equip schools with the tools and strategies needed to make it happen.
