Across the North West of England, school leaders face mounting challenges: outdated systems, disconnected processes, and overwhelming compliance demands. Staff are spending too much time on manual tasks, leaving less time to focus on teaching, wellbeing, and student success.
That’s why Compass has partnered with hi-impact, an award-winning education support provider, to deliver a smarter way forward. Together, we are empowering schools with connected technology and unrivalled on-the-ground expertise – helping school communities thrive.
“At hi-impact our job is to find the best technologies for our schools, where we can’t provide the technology we like to find partners who can. When we came across Compass, we realised that it was the right solution for our schools; it has everything that they need. One of the things that is really special about Compass is their openness to adapt to change, truly listening to schools and their needs.”
Alan Thompson, CEO and Founder, hi-impact

Why This Matters
The education landscape is changing fast. Legacy MIS platforms are leaving schools frustrated with clunky processes, poor integrations, and spiralling workloads. Modern MIS providers are cutting down support, leaving schools without much guidance and training. Our partnership offers schools across the North West a proven alternative: technology that works, supported by people who understand your world.
Behind every great system is the right support. That’s what our partnership with hi-impact delivers for schools. With Compass and hi-impact, schools don’t just adopt a new MIS; they gain a dedicated team committed to helping them succeed.
“We empower schools with a connected and impactful MIS solution that streamlines operations, supports parental engagement, and provides actionable insights – all backed by trusted, local support to ensure seamless adoption and long-term success. Together, we make the school day more productive, more impactful, and more enjoyable.”
Helping Learning Thrive
At its heart, this partnership is about giving schools confidence, clarity, and capacity. With hi-impact guiding schools through adoption and training, and Compass providing the innovation behind the system. Together, we give staff the time and tools to support every child’s progress and wellbeing, to foster a thriving school community.
