A clear, tailored learning plan for Buckinghamshire 11 Plus success
Winslow is a market town in the north of Buckinghamshire’s Aylesbury Vale district, and its families taking the Grammar School route look primarily towards Royal Latin School, Aylesbury High School, The Royal Grammar School, John Hampden Grammar School, Dr Challoner’s High School, and other Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools, roughly twelve miles to the south. Adnan Khan Tutoring runs live online 11 Plus lessons for Year 3 to Year 5 pupils in Winslow and nearby areas, including MK18 3, MK18 2, and MK18 4.
Online lessons mean Winslow families don’t need to add a regular drive to Aylesbury for tuition; preparation happens at home, slotting in around the school week, clubs, and family commitments.
Why Families in Winslow Choose 11 Plus Tuition
Several Winslow families begin looking into 11 Plus preparation when it becomes clear how much the Secondary Transfer Test demands beyond everyday classroom work. More often than not, it comes down to one or more of these:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Winslow Families
Winslow is fully within Buckinghamshire, meaning children here sit the same countywide Secondary Transfer Test as pupils elsewhere in the county. Grammar School eligibility and applications are managed through Buckinghamshire Council.
According to Buckinghamshire Council’s Grammar School guidance, the STT draws thousands of candidates each year. Aylesbury Grammar School offers 186 Year 7 places, and Aylesbury High School admits 189 pupils into Year 7. Winslow’s MK18 postcodes fall within the Aylesbury Vale administrative area, placing local families within the distance-priority catchment for both schools once the qualifying score is reached.
Both Aylesbury schools use oversubscription criteria to allocate places among qualified applicants. After looked-after children and FSM qualifiers, priority goes to siblings, then to children in the Aylesbury Vale catchment area in order of distance. Winslow families fall within this catchment, which matters significantly when qualifying applicants outnumber available places. Admissions details are published on the Aylesbury Grammar School and Aylesbury High School pages.
The qualifying score of 121 on the combined age-standardised STT result is confirmed by Buckinghamshire Council’s official guidance as the standard threshold for Grammar School eligibility. Reaching this score qualifies a child for consideration, with individual school places then allocated based on each school’s own admissions criteria.
Due to the strong competition for selective school places, many families in Winslow begin 11 Plus preparation early, with structured tutoring and expert guidance.

How a Winslow Student Improved Their 11 Plus Preparation
A Winslow girl came to us at the start of Year 3, attending Winslow Combined School and was automatically registered for the STT. She was reading well above her year group but found Verbal Reasoning unfamiliar and Non-Verbal Reasoning genuinely puzzling. Over eighteen months of structured weekly lessons, regular timed mock papers and feedback after each one, she steadily closed the gap in both reasoning areas, arriving at her Transfer Test confident and well within the qualifying range.
11 Plus Maths
The STT places Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning together in a single 60-minute multiple-choice paper. Our teaching builds numerical reasoning, problem-solving, algebra and data handling in a structured sequence, with timed practice introduced at an early stage so children develop both the accuracy and the exam pace the test demands.
11 Plus English
English and Verbal Reasoning share the STT’s first paper, testing comprehension, vocabulary, spelling and precise reading in a multiple-choice format. Our lessons develop sharp reading habits, inference skills and technical accuracy in vocabulary and spelling — always within timed conditions that mirror what children will face in September of Year 6.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning is woven through the STT’s English paper and involves question types coded sequences, analogies, word patterns, logical deduction that most children have never practised before. We cover every category in a progressive order and steadily layer in timed practice, so that speed and accuracy both improve over the months before the Transfer Test.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
Non-Verbal Reasoning is grouped with Maths in the STT and tends to feel the most unfamiliar at the start, since it relies on visual pattern recognition rather than on anything children have been taught in primary school. We guide pupils through shape sequences, hidden rules, reflections, rotations and matrix questions systematically, building the visual logic skills that turn this section from a source of anxiety into one they can handle methodically.
