One shared test for both Redbridge grammar schools (Ilford County High School and Woodford County High School): 1. English and Verbal Reasoning — one hour. 2. Mathematics and Non-Verbal Reasoning — one hour. Scores are age-standardised. A standardised score around the published threshold (historically 104) makes a child ELIGIBLE for consideration — it is a qualifying bar, not a ranking guarantee; oversubscription criteria then decide places. Register once with Redbridge council (historically 1 May to mid-June of Year 5); test in mid-September of Year 6; results by email in mid-October before the 31 October application deadline.
Same area, prioritising the same phase — useful for shortlisting alternatives.
