Compton's father Richard and uncle Patrick both played first-class cricket for Natal in South Africa. Compton moved to England while in his teens and attended Harrow School on a sports scholarship scheme where he was mentored by housemaster David Elleray. Compton impressed with a hatful of centuries for the school playing as captain and was prolific during the 2000 season for Middlesex's Under-19 side. Having only just turned 18, Compton played for an ECB Schools side against West Indies Under-19s in three matches playing as an opening batsman, top scoring for the side in the third match with 74.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ECB Schools v West Indies Under-19s )〕 A month later, he represented England Under-18s during the same tour, on this occasion scoring 42 playing at number three.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=England Under-18s v West Indies Under-19s )〕 Compton began a social science degree at Durham University, but a persistent groin problem, which eventually led to surgery, curtailed his cricket; meant he never completed the course.〔 Compton was in a relationship with the eldest daughter of Earl Spencer and niece of Princess Diana, Kitty Spencer.
