  Official registration page

Eligibility

Applicants must register for and sit the Redbridge 11+ selection test, reach the minimum standardised threshold score of 104, and name Woodford County High School on the formal Common Application Form.

Score policy

The Redbridge selection test uses a minimum threshold of 104; applicants below it are not added to the ranked list or waiting list, and qualifying applicants are ranked by total standardised score.

Registration

GIAS does not publish the current test registration URL.

Published area: Redbridge 11+ Common Catchment Area.

Ilford County and Woodford County share this mapped area. On the council map, choose Categories, Education, then 11+ Common Catchment Area. Check the full home address against the boundary with Redbridge Admissions; a postcode or borough name alone is not enough. Section 2.2 puts outside-area requests after inside-area requests, but section 2.13(b) does not expressly restrict the premium category to this area. Confirm that category’s residence requirement. The ordinary home must apply at the application closing date and be expected to continue at September 2027 entry; short-term second homes are excluded. Separated-parent applications use one evidenced address, normally the address used by the primary school where both parents have responsibility.

Priority order not confirmed in this guide. The published sequence is care status, including adoption after overseas state care; 45 Pupil Premium places ranked by total standardised score; other common-catchment applicants by score; then outside-area applicants by score. However, section 2.13(b) checks premium eligibility, including Ever6, at application, while note 8 requires entitlement in Year 5 and application under that criterion. Section 2.2 gives inside-area requests precedence, while the premium category has no explicit residence restriction. Ask Redbridge Admissions to confirm the premium eligibility date and catchment requirement before relying on the full order. The current registration guidance does not resolve these points. The policy sets a minimum score of 104 for the ranked and waiting lists; this does not guarantee an offer. Equal scores use shortest safe walking distance along recognised roads/footpaths from home to the school’s main entrance, using the block entrance for flats; identical final-place distances use random allocation. Waiting-list vacancies follow the same categories, score and distance rules. Test registration alone is not a school application: the CAF is also required. No late test registrations are accepted, and missing required photo identification prevents testing without a replacement arrangement. Check the current council registration page for exact dates rather than the policy’s approximate window. Sibling and staff rules in the comprehensive-school sections are not this grammar-school priority order.
