The school opened in 1919. Woodford's brother school is Ilford County High School. Woodford County High School has seven Years (7–13). To gain a place in the lower school, children take the 11-plus exam via the local authority, the London Borough of Redbridge. Redbridge offer the top 180 girls from the 11-plus exam results a place at Woodford County High School where, upon entry, girls are allocated to one of 6 individual 'forms' of 30 students each. Each of the four forms in every year group for Years 7-11 is part of a different school 'house'. These houses are Repton (blue), Warner (yellow), Highams (green) and Newton (red). There are many roles that students are encouraged to volunteer for within the day-to-day running of the school, including representation of peers on the 'school council' and becoming 'Silver Badges' (Y12/13 6th Formers with additional responsibilities). 6th Form (Y12/13) places at the school are highly sought after, and applications to attend 6th Form are open to those who have attended schools other than Woodford County High School in Years 7 to 11. The school offers a wide range of GCSE subjects, including Classical Civilisation, psychology, and business studies, among many others.[2] The school building was the site of the Highams Manor, built in 1768.[3] The grounds of the school were designed by Humphry Repton, who gives his name to one of the school's houses. The building was formerly a hospital, in which Florence Nightingale worked,[4] as well as a means of accommodation for Winston Churchill during the World War II.[5] It was also once owned as a house, owned by the Warner family, who also held ownership of many properties in Walthamstow.{{Citation needed|date=November 2014}} Higham Hall, the Main Lobby (which is now the office) and the winding staircase were designed by William Newton.[6] The school history used to be learnt by students in year 7 for the first half-term of the academic year.{{Citation needed|date=November 2014}} Notable former pupils{{see also|Category:People educated at Woodford County High School For Girls}}
