11 Plus in Buckinghamshire: common questions
Does every child in Buckinghamshire take the 11 Plus?
Yes. Buckinghamshire is a fully selective county. All children attending a Buckinghamshire state primary school automatically sit the Secondary Transfer Test (STT) in September of Year 6, unless parents opt out. The test determines whether a child receives a grammar school recommendation, which is required to apply to any Bucks grammar school.
What happens if my child doesn't pass the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus?
Children who do not receive a grammar school recommendation are allocated a place at a non-selective secondary school in Bucks. Some families apply to independent schools as an alternative. A small number of selective schools also operate an 'appeals' process for borderline scores, which a specialist tutor can help prepare children for.
How competitive is entry to RGS and Dr Challoner's?
Royal Grammar School and Dr Challoner's are the most selective schools in Buckinghamshire. A grammar school recommendation is necessary but not sufficient: these schools are also heavily oversubscribed, so distance to the school plays a significant role in allocation. Many families in the catchment area invest heavily in 11+ preparation to ensure their child scores well above the minimum qualifying mark.
