Pros

Feels like the management are on the forefront of supporting children with SEN in new, therapeutic ways Smaller classes than mainstream education means it is easier to give children the attention they need There are good training and progression opportunities Finish every day feeling like i've made a difference

Cons

The amount of work outside of the classroom can be quite busy - this is the same in most teaching roles

Pros

I worked at a Compass school for 2 years, only left due to relocating. I was very lucky to be surrounded by a supportive and professional group of teaching staff, who were really passionate about helping the kids we work with. The schools are small, so high staff to child ratio makes the work easier, the children do sometimes become dysregulated and need extra support, but I received lots of training to support with this, and also understand why they behave like this. The overall company seem to make a good effort to create a safe and diverse school, with lots of initiatives to support various marginalised groups which I thought was really good. If they opened a compass school nearer to me, I would definitely reapply. Thank you.

Cons

Obviously with working in a school, booking time off is a bit less flexible than if you worked in for example an office job
