Services we provide
Our school to school support is always a coherent, bespoke response to individual needs. We would invite anyone interested in taking up this opportunity, to contact us with a general enquiry. This will trigger an initial needs analysis meeting, cost free and with no obligation. Following this, The Catsfield National Support School will present a strategy for support for consideration by the client school, with desired outcomes and a timeline. Once accepted, progress will be monitored regularly in dialogue with the client school in order to ensure positive outcomes.
