Redbridge School Catchment Areas

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Redbridge coordinates admissions across 52 primary and 15 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.

School density is highest in Ilford and Woodford Green - parents in other parts of Redbridge should check the exact distance-offered figure from the previous year before banking on proximity alone.

Selective schools are part of the mix in Redbridge - for those applying to grammar schools, a selective admissions test is required in addition to the standard admissions process.
