Catchment is not a promise

Ratings age too. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★☆ | Plenty of primary schools (Ysgol Bryn Deva, Golftyn, Wepre) and Connah's Quay High School, plus Wepre Park, check catchments, the school's recent Estyn history, and the estuary flood reaches. |
