At The Compass School, every child’s musical journey begins with joy, curiosity and plenty of fun. Our specialist‑led lessons give pupils the chance to sing, play instruments and discover just how exciting music can be.

From age seven, children can start learning the recorder and piano, and as they grow, they can choose from chanter, clarinet, clarsach, drums, clarinet, clarsach, flute, violin, or voice. There’s something for every budding musician!

This year, we’re delighted to celebrate a record-breaking 99 pupils signing up for instrumental tuition with 75% of our children from Primary 3-7 having music tuition - our young musicians' enthusiasm is clear!

We can’t wait to see our talented pupils shine in performances throughout the term - keep posted for some truly unforgettable musical moments!

Form 5 children have begun the new term with energy and excitement!

They wowed us with an assembly inspired by 'No Two Trees: A Book About Differences!' by Allie R. Cooper. This heartwarming picture book, set in a Scottish forest, celebrates individuality, diversity, and belonging.

Form 5 shared powerful messages about embracing what makes each of us unique, just like trees in a forest! Everyone has their own interests, talents, and strengths, and we all grow in our own way and at our own pace.

During circle time, the class reflected on their first week back and agreed it’s been busy, packed with exciting opportunities and new challenges. What a super start to Form 5!

Well done to everyone in Form 5 for an amazing start to the Autumn Term!

It's lovely to be back and to see so many of our clubs restarting this week!

The Compass School offers over 30 clubs, and it has been fantastic to see such high numbers signing up for all the different activities on offer.

We are also delighted to welcome a new club this term - Ukulele Club! The participants had a great time at their first session, and we look forward to hearing about their progress in the coming weeks.

Pony Club has also returned and remains a firm favourite with the children. They were certainly put to work straight away, getting stuck into some mucking out - a great way to start the term!

As we start a new school year, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on what makes The Compass School such a warm and welcoming place, where our children can learn and grow in our unique and supportive environment.

With the new term beginning, we’re excited for a year filled with curiosity, imagination, and the confidence for every child to truly flourish.

It was a super start to Science for Form 8!

Our young Scientists carried out an experiment with water, bicarbonate of soda, lemon juice, vinegar and red cabbage, observing how different chemical reactions take place.

They were full of curiosity and great questions. What do you think happened in their mixtures?!
