Catchment is not a promise
A house advertised as in catchment may not be next year. Isle of Anglesey County Council publishes last year's furthest distance offered for each school. Ask for that figure in writing before you offer.
Ratings age too. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★☆ | A town with primary and secondary schools (predominantly Welsh-medium, led by Ysgol Syr Thomas Jones), the coast, Parys Mountain and parks, check catchments, language provision and the drive to Bangor for the A&E and the station. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★★★ | Among the most accessible ways into home ownership on Anglesey, town terraces and smaller homes are often well below the coast and the bridge towns; weigh the condition of older stock and check the exact area. |
