PUPILS aiming to be selected for the borough's two grammar schools this weekend have had their exams put back due to the severe weather.

Redbridge Council announced that the entrance tests for Ilford and Woodford County High Schools, due to be held on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10, have been postponed.

A statement on the council website said candidates are being contacted as quickly as possible and it is intended the tests will now take place on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17.

Further information will be available on redbridge.gov.uk from Wednesday 13.
