Grammar schools and Secondary Transfer Testing (11+)

Children who attend a state funded Buckinghamshire primary school are automatically entered for the Secondary Transfer Test by their school, and do not need to be registered.

You can register children for testing between 5 May and 3pm on 16 June 2023 if they attend:

• a Partner School
• an independent school
• a primary school outside of Buckinghamshire (this includes those in Milton Keynes)

If your child attends a state funded Buckinghamshire primary school and you would prefer them not to take the test, confirm this in writing to your child’s school.

We will not normally accept a late registration for testing unless you have exceptional reasons for not registering before the deadline. If you think this is the case, contact us.

Families who move into Buckinghamshire by 21 June 2024 will be offered late testing for their child, as long as they can provide evidence that they have moved.

If your child is not in the expected year group for their age, and you would like them to sit the test, view under-age or over-age testing in our grammar schools guide.

If your child currently lives abroad, we will not be able to test them until they return to the UK.
