Supporting Children and Families
Our Commitment
At Catshill Federation, we are committed to supporting every family in our community.
By working together, we can make sure that every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and achieve their best — in school and beyond.
Together, We Care for Every Child and Family
At Catshill Middle School we believe that children learn best when they feel happy, safe, and supported — both in school and at home.
We understand that every family experiences challenges from time to time, and we are here to listen, offer guidance, and work alongside you to find the right support.
Our aim is to help families get the right help, at the right time, in the right way.
