The Consortium of All-Through Schooling (CATS) is the nationally acknowledged expert group in the leadership of all-through learning in schools, academies, federations, trusts and collaborations. With extensive and successful experience CATS works with school leaders, governors and stakeholders to support multi-school and academy structures to create all-through locality solutions; developing the vision for children and the strategy for change. Our Directors are central to the delivery of the National College Models and Partnerships Programme and thoroughly understand the current educational landscape.

Samworth Enterprise Academy, Leicester - an all-through academy
All-through educational models are now seen as a key strategy for raising attainment and improving outcomes for children. CATS works with the Department for Education (DfE); Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) with whom CATS has developed a working partnership; and the National College for Leadership of Schools and Children's Services (National College). CATS offers support to schools and Local Authorities through its CATS Consultancy arm as they develop their plans for future all-through schooling structures. CATS is a not-for-profit limited company and is funded by member subscriptions and its conference programmes. It actively seeks sponsorship for its activities.
