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.

The schools families ask about here are Thamesmead School, Saxon Primary School, State secondaries & sixth form (nearby) and Independent schools (nearby). 2 local schools were graded Good or Outstanding at their last graded Ofsted inspection (before September 2024).
