Why Families in Wendover Choose 11 Plus Tuition
For many Wendover families, the decision to start 11 Plus preparation comes when they look more closely at the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test and realise how much ground they need to cover before September of Year 6. The concerns that keep coming up:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Wendover Families
Buckinghamshire is one of the last fully selective counties in England, and Wendover sits within the Aylesbury Vale area where competition for Grammar School places is particularly strong. Grammar School applications are coordinated through Buckinghamshire Council, using a single shared test across the whole county.
According to Buckinghamshire Council’s official guidance, thousands of children across the county take the STT each year for a limited number of places. Students aiming for a place at Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools must sit the Secondary Transfer Test, set by GL Assessment. It consists of 2 papers. One paper tests your child’s Verbal skills, and the second paper assesses your child’s Maths and Non-verbal skills.
Aylesbury Grammar School is a highly competitive boys’ Grammar School with 186 places in Year 7. It is part of the Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools Consortium. Aylesbury High School is a girls’ Grammar School. It offers 189 places in Year 7. Aylesbury High School has a catchment area. It prioritises girls from Aylesbury, Princes Risborough, Haddenham, Long Crendon, Ludgershall, Stewkley and Edlesborough.
The qualifying score of 121 on the combined age-standardised STT score is the threshold confirmed by Buckinghamshire Council for Grammar School eligibility. Reaching 121 qualifies a child for consideration, but places are then allocated based on each school’s own oversubscription criteria, in which distance and catchment membership play a significant role.
With increasing competition for Year 7 places, it’s common for Wendover families to begin 11 Plus tuition early and look for expert academic support.
Students We Support for the 11 Plus in Wendover
Through our 11 Plus Tuition, we help students in Wendover and nearby HP22 0, HP22 5, and HP22 6 postcode areas, including children from Halton village, Aston Clinton in HP22 5, Stoke Mandeville and the hamlets along the Chiltern scarp toward Princes Risborough in HP17. Local primary schools we regularly work with include The John Hampden School, Wendover Church of England Junior School, among others in the area.
Families in Taplow and Wing are also supported through dedicated online 11 Plus programmes designed around their individual school options and timelines.

Children at Buckinghamshire state-funded primary schools are automatically registered for the STT. Children at independent schools must register separately via Buckinghamshire Council. Registration for the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test 2027 is now closed. Families who missed the deadline and need information about late registration and next steps can find it in Buckinghamshire Council’s guidelines. The Practice Test is on 8 September 2026, the Transfer Test on 10 September 2026 and results are due on 9 October 2026. Always check current arrangements directly with Buckinghamshire Council.
For Wendover families considering a later move to Grammar School, we also offer 12 Plus and 13 Plus tuition.
The 11 Plus Improvement Journey of a Wendover Student
Initially assessed in Year 4, a Wendover student demonstrated strong Maths skills but found reasoning and exam timing more challenging. With consistent support, structured weekly lessons, and regular STT-style mock papers over two years, she gradually strengthened her approach to Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning as well as timed comprehension. Step by step, her accuracy improved, her exam technique became more controlled, and her confidence across all four 11 Plus subjects developed steadily.
11 Plus Maths
The STT’s Maths and NVR paper runs for approximately 60 minutes under timed, multiple-choice conditions. Our sessions develop numerical reasoning, problem-solving, geometry and data interpretation in a carefully ordered progression, building the exam speed and accuracy that children need to work through the whole paper without losing marks to avoidable slips.
11 Plus English
English and Verbal Reasoning are assessed together in the STT’s first paper, with a focus on comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and reading accuracy. Our online English lessons sharpen close-reading technique, inference, word-level accuracy and spelling, always within timed practice conditions so children build the pace the multiple-choice format demands.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning is embedded throughout the STT’s English paper and requires familiarity with question types, analogies, sequences, coded patterns, and word sorting that rarely appear in primary school. We tackle each type in turn in a structured sequence, adding timed practice papers once each type feels reliable, so that both accuracy and speed improve steadily.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
Non-Verbal Reasoning is tested alongside Maths and catches most children off guard because it bears no resemblance to anything in their normal lessons. We guide pupils through shape sequences, hidden-rule identification, rotations, reflections and matrix-style puzzles at a steady pace, until the visual logic that once seemed random becomes something they can approach with a clear method.

Who provides online 11 Plus tuition in Wendover?
For families in Wendover and across Buckinghamshire, Adnan Khan Tutoring provides live one-to-one online 11 Plus tuition for Year 3 to Year 5 pupils preparing for the Secondary Transfer Test.
Is Wendover within the catchment area for Aylesbury Grammar School?
Yes. Wendover’s HP22 6 postcode falls within the Aylesbury Vale catchment area. Aylesbury Grammar School and Aylesbury High School both prioritise qualifying applicants from within this area when places are oversubscribed, placing Wendover families in a strong position once the 121 qualifying score is reached.
What is the STT qualifying score?
The qualifying score is typically 121 on the combined age-standardised score across both STT papers, as confirmed by Buckinghamshire Council. Achieving this standard makes a child eligible for consideration for Grammar School, but places at individual schools are then allocated under each school’s own oversubscription criteria.
How is the Buckinghamshire STT structured?
The STT consists of two multiple-choice papers, each approximately 60 minutes long, produced by GL Assessment. The first paper covers English and Verbal Reasoning; the second covers Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Both papers are set on the same day.
When should my child start 11 Plus tuition in Wendover?
Starting in Year 3 or Year 4 gives the best chance of covering all four subject areas properly before the Practice Test in September of Year 6.

Indeed. Children receive comprehensive preparation in all four STT subject areas through live, one-on-one online lessons with screen sharing and real-time feedback, all without travel time.
