About Catshill Middle School

Catshill Middle School is a state secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, and it currently has 424 pupils on roll against a capacity of 450, meaning it is operating very close to full but with a small number of spare places. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26.2%, which is notably higher than the national average for state-funded schools and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Despite this, demand appears manageable; the school is not oversubscribed to the point of needing to turn away families, and its middle-school model (catering for Years 5 through 8) makes it a distinct option in the local area. The school is mixed, non-religious, and led by headteacher Julia Shingler. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good — a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Requires Improvement.
