What the admissions data actually guarantees
A house advertised as in catchment may not be next year. The local council publishes last year's furthest distance offered for each school. Ask for that figure in writing before you offer.
Ratings age too. An Outstanding judgement can be several years old, and inspections since September 2024 report differently. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.
No school in the immediate area currently holds an Outstanding rating.

The schools families ask about here are Whitehill & Bordon primary schools, Oakmoor School, Bohunt School (Liphook) and Further options (Alton & area). 2 local schools were graded Good or Outstanding at their last graded Ofsted inspection (before September 2024).

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★☆ | New homes, new schools and amenities, and heathland, forest and nature reserves on the doorstep, good for young families. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★★★ | One of the more affordable Hampshire towns, with a large supply of brand-new regeneration homes, realistic ways in and Help-to-Buy-style stock. |
| Upsizers | ★★★☆☆ | Plenty of new detached and family housing, though it is a growing new town rather than an established period market. |
| Property developers & investors | ★★★★☆ | A ~1bn, 15-year regeneration means ongoing new stock and rising amenity, a genuine growth story. |
| Commuters | ★★☆☆☆ | No railway station in the town, you drive to Liphook, Bentley or Farnham for trains; car-dependent for London. |
