It is not possible to register before or after these dates. The registration link is already available on the Redbridge webpage and will automatically open on 1 May 2026.
For children who need additional time or other adjustments, parents are required to upload the appropriate documentation when registering. This includes a care plan, a supporting letter from the SENCO or teacher supporting the child, or an EHCP that clearly outlines the support typically provided during assessments, such as SATs. This document must be attached to the online registration form. LB Redbridge cannot accept any adjustment requests submitted after 15 June 2026.

Important information for parents before registering

• If you do not live within the common catchment area for the Redbridge Grammar Schools, please do not register your child for the test. Regardless of how well a child performs, LB Redbridge cannot offer a place to candidates living outside this area.
• To check if an address is within the common catchment area:
  Visit Redbridge Maps (https://my.redbridge.gov.uk/map) → select Education → choose 11+ Common Catchment Area, then enter your postcode. The child’s home address must fall within the blue boundary. (The red boundary shows Redbridge; the blue boundary shows the whole common catchment area, which includes all of Redbridge, Waltham Forest, and parts of Barking & Dagenham, Newham, and Essex.)
• Be aware that grammar schools in other areas may schedule their tests on the same day. Most run their tests in the first few weeks of September. Parents should consider their preferred schools before registering.
• If you register your child for the Redbridge test, please note that we cannot offer an alternative test date if they miss it due to taking another school’s entrance test on the same day.
