How entry to Woodford County High School works

Woodford County High School is a state grammar school, so entry at 11+ is decided by a selection test sat at the start of Year 6. Grammar schools do not interview: places are offered on test performance, and many schools also give priority by distance or catchment area.

The papers usually cover some mix of English, maths and reasoning, and the format differs from one area to the next, so preparation should match the exact test this school uses. Registration normally closes in the summer before Year 6 or early in Year 6 itself, so it is worth checking the date well ahead.

Dates and requirements change from year to year, so always check the latest details on the school’s website.
