CATS is the national interest group for all-through schooling and has as members all-through schools and academies, all-through federations, all-through Trusts, collaboratives, Local Authorities and individual consultants.
All-through educational models are now seen as a key part of Government strategy for raising attainment and improving outcomes for children.
CATS is the only interest group specialising in the support of all-through settings and the dissemination of good all-through practice.
CATS is supported by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF); Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) with whom CATS has developed a working partnership; and the Innovation Unit.
CATS offers support to schools and Local Authorities through its CATS Consultancy arm as they develop their plans for future all-through schooling structures.
