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.

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★☆☆ | Streatley C.E. Primary (Good) and Good secondaries near by (Theale Green, Langtree), with countryside all around, though the village itself is small. |
| Downsizers | ★★★★☆ | A beautiful, characterful Thames village with pubs, walks and the shared Goring & Streatley station suits buyers wanting calm and cachet within reach of a town. |
| Second-home buyers | ★★★★☆ | A prime, scenic riverside setting with real cachet draws second-home and lifestyle buyers, though flood risk near the river needs checking. |
| Commuters (to London) | ★★★☆☆ | The shared Goring & Streatley station reaches Paddington in about an hour via Reading, a genuine link, if not the fastest. |
| First-time buyers | ★☆☆☆☆ | A prime village with well-above-average prices and little smaller stock, the affordable starts are in Reading, not here. |
