Why an in catchment listing can still miss
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.

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★☆☆ | A Good village primary (Salehurst) and beautiful surroundings, though the village secondary is a newly re-opened academy with no graded report yet, check it carefully. |
| Commuters (to London) | ★★★★☆ | Its own station with direct trains to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street via Tunbridge Wells, plus the A21 beside the village. |
| Upsizers | ★★★★☆ | Period cottages and larger country homes in the High Weald give room to grow, within reach of a station. |
| Downsizers | ★★★★☆ | A pretty, walkable village with independent shops, amenities and countryside, appealing for later life, if you check flood risk near the Rother. |
| First-time buyers | ★★☆☆☆ | A sought-after village with above-average prices makes the first step harder. |
