How are Year 7 places decided at Woodbridge High School?

When Woodbridge High School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after / previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order, including those who appear to us to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989); 2. Children of school staff — children of all school staff, up to one place per form of entry i.e. a school with an intake of 180 will have up to six places available for children of all staff. Places will be allocated: i. to children of all staff recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage; ii. to children of all staff employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, ranked by distance (as set out in 1.9); 3. Catchment area with sibling on roll — children who live in the catchment area and have a sibling currently on roll at the school (except Years 11-13), and will continue to attend that school in the following academic year, and 3 further criteria. The school offers 300 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Priority based on the shortest measured walking distance as measured by a Geographic Information System from the child's home to the main entrance of the school using public roads and recognised footpaths; if identical distances remain tied, the random allocation facility within the Synergy Admissions and Transfers System pupil database is used.

How places are decided at Woodbridge High School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after / previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order, including those who appear to us to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989).
2Children of school staff — children of all school staff, up to one place per form of entry i.e. a school with an intake of 180 will have up to six places available for children of all staff.

3Catchment area with sibling on roll — children who live in the catchment area and have a sibling currently on roll at the school (except Years 11-13), and will continue to attend that school in the following academic year
4Other children in catchment area — other children who live in the catchment area;
5Sibling on roll (out of catchment) — children who have siblings who are currently on roll at the school (except Years 11-13), and will continue to attend that school in the following academic year; and
6Out of catchment, no sibling — children who live out of the catchment area who have no sibling attending the school.

If two applications tie: Priority based on the shortest measured walking distance as measured by a Geographic Information System from the child's home to the main entrance of the school using public roads and recognised footpaths; if identical distances remain tied, the random allocation facility within the Synergy Admissions and Transfers System pupil database is used.

Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for London Borough of Redbridge's community and voluntary-controlled schools (the council is the admission authority). Some community/voluntary-controlled schools in this authority apply catchment-area, feeder-school or priority-area variants — check the individual school for its exact arrangements. The two selective (grammar) schools operate a different, separately determined oversubscription process (minimum threshold score, pupil premium quota, and Common Catchment Area ranking by standardised test score) rather than the standard comprehensive-school criteria listed above. Catchment area boundaries vary by individual community school.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
