Ofsted judgement
UET Compass Academy has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in January 2024, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was UET Pathfinder Academy. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: UET Pathfinder Academy
