Description of the school – Woodford County High School

This girls’ grammar school is smaller than most secondary schools but has a larger than average sixth form. Students’ attainment on entry to the school is much higher than average. A small proportion of students receive free school meals. Most students are from minority ethnic backgrounds, with the great majority of Asian British heritage. Many students are bilingual, and do not have English as their first language. Almost all students go on to higher education from the school sixth form.
