High Wycombe is in a full grammar-school county

Buckinghamshire still runs a selective system. Its grammar schools, including the Royal Grammar School, Wycombe High School and John Hampden Grammar School in High Wycombe, all use one exam: the Secondary Transfer Test, set by GL Assessment and sat in September of Year 6. It has two papers of about 45 minutes, weighted roughly half verbal ability and a quarter each non-verbal and numerical ability, and a score of 121 qualifies.

Children at Buckinghamshire primary schools are entered automatically unless their parents opt out; children at schools outside the county must be registered, usually in May and June of Year 5. A qualifying score is not a guaranteed place, because each school then applies its own admissions criteria.

So preparation should match the paper

The test rewards fast, accurate verbal reasoning above everything else. We weight lessons accordingly, starting with a steady Year 5 plan rather than a summer cram, and we keep GCSE and KS3 support going for older brothers and sisters.
