Woodford County High School For Girls

Six fantastic bands from across the school battled on Wednesday evening to achieve the audience’s votes, with Year 9 band ‘Legacy’ being crowned the winners after a stunning performance, that they look forward to repeating at the Redbridge Battle of the Bands on Saturday. 

Having successfully auditioned last term, Woodford’s Big Band took to the stage at the Royal Festival Hall as part of Rotary International’s ‘Youth Makes Music’ concert last Thursday.

In keeping with one of Woodford’s newer traditions, the Silver Badge Team visited Haven House to present our annual cheque to support their work. 

We congratulate every one of our A-Level candidates.  We are very proud of their achievements.

Woodford and Churchfields Orchestras – playing in harmony!

On Monday, Woodford’s Orchestra took a trip to Churchfields Junior School to take part in a joint musical workshop and a concert. The orchestras collaborated on two well-known pieces – Grieg’s ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ and Holst’s ‘Mars – The Bringer of War’, both of which are currently featured in the BBC’s 10 Pieces project. The resultant sound of two excellent orchestras performing together was impressive – and both young and older musicians alike demonstrated excellent musicianship and professionalism in their rehearsals and resulting concert to an audience of family and friends. The project was a fantastic opportunity for Woodford’s musicians to act as musical role models to younger students – and to have a lot of fun doing it! We look forward to more collaborations in future.
