Catchment is not a promise
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.
