What the admissions data actually guarantees
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 Wilton CofE Primary School, Salisbury comprehensives, Bishop Wordsworth's & South Wilts Grammar and Independent schools (Salisbury). 1 local school was graded Good or Outstanding at their last graded Ofsted inspection (before September 2024). Ratings age between inspections, so read the latest report before you rely on one.
