Grammar Schools in Buckinghamshire
All 13 Buckinghamshire grammar schools use a single Secondary Transfer Test, commissioned by The Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools and produced by GL Assessment. Children at Buckinghamshire state primaries are entered automatically.
Where the official practice material is
GL Assessment
Free familiarisation booklets that show the question types, the timings and how the answer sheet works. GL do not release past papers, so anything sold as a GL past paper was written by somebody else.
What families in Buckinghamshire need to know
- Two papers of roughly 60 minutes each: one on verbal skills, one combining mathematical and non-verbal skills. The standardised score weights verbal 50%, maths 25% and non-verbal 25%.
- The qualifying score is 121.
- TBGS re-appointed GL on a five-year contract in June 2024, so the provider is settled for this round and several rounds ahead.
