WCWoodford County High School 11+ admissions

• Redbridge 11 Plus Selection Test

  Local authority selection test · GL Assessment · Two papers: English and Verbal Reasoning, followed by Mathematics and Non-Verbal Reasoning

  The 2027-28 Redbridge admissions arrangements set a minimum threshold score of 104; applicants below 104 are not added to the ranked or waiting lists. Applicants who reach the threshold are considered within the published priority groups, including the pupil-premium group, common-catchment applicants and applicants outside the common catchment area. Within those groups, applicants are ranked by total standardised score. Meeting the threshold does not guarantee a place.

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. Up to 45 places (25%) go to children entitled to the Pupil Premium, including Ever6, ranked by total standardised score. Requests from outside the Common Catchment Area are considered after requests from inside it. Ask Redbridge Admissions which date sets Pupil Premium eligibility and whether these places are limited to the catchment area. The policy sets a minimum score of 104 for the ranked and waiting lists, which does not guarantee an offer. Test registration alone is not a school application: the common application form is also required.

For September 2027 entry. Policy checked 2026-10-23. A priority category does not guarantee an offer.

Woodford County High School is a state-funded school, so there is no tuition fee for a Year 7 place. Uniform and optional activities can have separate costs. Check the Department for Education school record and the GOV.UK guide to state schools for the funding rule. The school can confirm current uniform and activity costs.

Inspection outcomes are maintained separately and are not present in current GIAS downloads.
