The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

About Woodbridge High School
Woodbridge High School is a secondary school in Woodford Green, Redbridge, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 2,000 pupils aged 11 to 18 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 52.2, above the national average of 46. That is down 2.3 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 21% of secondary schools nationally.
58% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well above the national average of about 45%. 75% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Competition for places is real here - 65% of first-choice applicants were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026 (395 first choices for 288 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 0.98 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. After Year 11, 95% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 5.1%. There are about 17.9 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
