Catchment Areas for Reigate Primary Schools

[LisaClapham]

We are moving from London to Reigate this year and I am trying to ensure that the house we buy is in the catchment for both Holmesdale Infant and Priory Junior schools. Both my dcs are pre school age (3 and 1).
Estate agents assure me that houses we look at are in catchment but I wondered if there is a way of checking that you are sure to get a place. I know that areas change year on year due to demand, sibling places etc, but want to put us in as good a position as possible as we cannot afford to privately educate them. Does anyone have any advice please. Is there a website I can look at, do I phone the school, the LEA? Many thanks

Thanks CustardCake. Good to see the evidence from previous years. Ideally yes we are looking at houses between the two schools, but we are yet to find something that works. We have an option near Holmesdale which may work for Priory - and is within the 1.39km from last year. It is a bit of a lottery I know, and always going to be an issue if new housing developments pop up near to the schools.
