THE eleven plus exam for children in Redbridge will take place this year on Monday, September 3.

Registrations for the exam are now being accepted by Redbridge Council and the deadline for entries is Thursday, July 5.

The date of the exam has been moved forward this year to allow time for the results to be declared ahead of the deadline for secondary school applications on October 31.

The borough’s two grammar schools will be holding open evenings for prospective parents at the end of June.

Woodford County High School for Girls in Woodford Green will be open at 6pm on Thursday, June 28, and Ilford County High School for boys will be open at 6.30pm on Tuesday, June 26.
