Family value

Family value is more than a low asking price or a large school count. These towns offer different combinations of housing, local schools and established centres, and the right balance depends on the ages of your children and where you need to travel. Where a card includes primary and secondary numbers, they describe local recorded provision, not admissions chances or teaching quality. A place-wide figure cannot tell you whether an individual street suits your household. Use the shortlist to compare homes and catchments in detail, including the schools relevant to your address.
