The first school Catshill First School and Nursery is located in the centre of the village on Gibb Lane. The Middle School was built in 1939, and was converted from a Secondary Modern to a Middle School in 1970. The village has a small library, though it is not open every day. Catshill also has a village hall in which many different learning activities take place, from karate to IT skills.

There are routes to Birmingham, Halesowen, Merry Hill, Stourbridge, Bromsgrove, Worcester and Droitwich.
