Why Families in Bierton Choose 11 Plus Tuition
Bierton parents consider 11 Plus preparation once they realise that, while most Buckinghamshire primary school children are automatically registered for the Secondary Transfer Test, it still requires careful preparation. The concerns we hear most::
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Bierton Families
Buckinghamshire is one of the few remaining fully selective counties in England, meaning all state secondary schools for grammar-eligible children are selective. Bierton and the surrounding HP22 villages sit within the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test area, which is the single shared test used by all 13 of Buckinghamshire’s Grammar Schools.
According to Buckinghamshire Council’s Grammar School guidance, the Secondary Transfer Test is taken by thousands of children across the county each year. Aylesbury Grammar School (boys) has a Published Admission Number of 186 for Year 7. Aylesbury High School (girls) also has a Published Admission Number of 189.
Each school applies its own oversubscription criteria once the qualifying score is met. Aylesbury Grammar School prioritises boys qualifying under FSM criteria, then siblings, then those in the Aylesbury Vale catchment by distance. Aylesbury High School follows a similar structure. Bierton’s HP22 postcode sits within the Aylesbury Vale area, giving local children strong distance priority for both schools.
The qualifying score for Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools is typically 121, based on the combined age-standardised score across both STT papers, as confirmed on Buckinghamshire Council’s official guidance page. Achieving 121 or above qualifies a child for consideration, but does not guarantee a place; places are then allocated according to each school’s oversubscription criteria.
These factors, along with strong competition for a limited number of Year 7 Grammar School places, explain why many Bierton families start structured 11 Plus preparation early and turn to specialist tutoring support.
Students We Support for the 11 Plus in Bierton
Families across Bierton and the surrounding HP22 postcodes can access our tuition, including those in Broughton, Hulcott, Aston Clinton, and the local streets around Bierton village. We also support children across Aylesbury in HP20 and HP21. Local primary schools we regularly work with include Bierton Church of England Combined School and Kingsbrook View Primary Academy, among others in the area.
The majority of our Bierton learners are in Years 3 to 5, preparing for selective entry to Aylesbury Grammar School or Aylesbury High School and other Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools within the TBGS consortium.
Children attending Buckinghamshire state-funded primary schools are automatically registered for the Secondary Transfer Test, unless a parent withdraws them. Children at independent schools or schools outside Buckinghamshire must register separately through Buckinghamshire Council. For September 2027 entry, the Practice Test is scheduled for 8 September 2026, the Transfer Test for 10 September 2026, and results are due on 9 October 2026. Parents should confirm current arrangements directly with Buckinghamshire Council.
For families in Bierton considering Grammar School entry at a later stage, we provide dedicated 12 Plus and 13 Plus tuition.
From Basics to Confidence: A Bierton Student’s 11 Plus Preparation
Registered for the STT through Bierton CofE Combined School, a Bierton student joined us in Year 4. While confident in Maths, she faced challenges in Verbal Reasoning and timed comprehension. With consistent weekly sessions, regular practice papers, and detailed feedback, she improved her pace and accuracy across all four subjects, going into her Transfer Test fully prepared.
11 Plus Maths
The Buckinghamshire STT tests Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning together in one 60-minute paper. Our sessions build numerical reasoning, problem-solving, algebra and data interpretation in a structured sequence, with timed multiple-choice practice throughout to develop the speed and accuracy the STT format demands.
11 Plus English
English and Verbal Reasoning sit together in the STT’s first paper, covering comprehension, vocabulary, spelling and analytical reading across a multiple-choice format. Our lessons develop close reading, inference, and vocabulary precision, always under timed, multiple-choice conditions that mirror the actual test.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning makes up a significant part of the STT’s English paper, with letter sequences, word codes and analogies appearing in a format most children find unfamiliar at first. We work through every major VR question type in a structured order, adding timed practice steadily so that both speed and accuracy are ready well before September.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
Non-Verbal Reasoning sits in the STT’s second paper alongside Maths and is the area children most often find surprising, since nothing quite like it comes up in ordinary primary lessons. We guide pupils through shape sequences, rule-spotting, rotations, reflections and matrix puzzles until the approach becomes confident rather than a guess.
