Schools in Redbridge, London

Victorian terraces in Ilford's commercial core give way to Edwardian and inter-war semi-detached avenues as Redbridge extends through northeast London towards the Epping Forest edge at Woodford. The borough was established in 1965. Now home to around 311,000 people, it stretches from Ilford's busy retail high street to the tree-lined village green at Wanstead, where a Georgian church and pond give the neighbourhood a distinctly unhurried character.

Wanstead and Woodford are among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments in the borough, with families competing for primary places in these leafier northern reaches. South Woodford and Gants Hill draw families seeking school places along the borough's central corridor. Central line services from Woodford and Gants Hill reach Liverpool Street, while Elizabeth line trains from Ilford connect through Stratford to central London.
