About Compass Point Primary School

Compass Point Primary is a Good School in the heart of Bedminster, home to a thriving, diverse and vibrant community; known for its street art, festivals and music. Our children are ready to learn, respect their classmates and those about them and are safe and cared for. Children make good choices, firm friendships and are generally happy about the school. The culture around the school feels warm and caring.

Together, our children progress through life, inspired by our School motto, 'Aspire, Believe, Achieve'.
