Understanding Downley Grammar School Qualification

With more Buckinghamshire pupils qualifying each year than there are places available, strong preparation genuinely matters for Downley families weighing up their nearest Grammar Schools.
Here’s why strong 11 Plus preparation is important for Downley families:

Buckinghamshire GL Assessment

The Buckinghamshire GL Assessment consists of two papers taken on the same day and assesses English, Verbal Reasoning, Maths, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Success depends not only on subject knowledge but also on a student’s ability to work accurately and efficiently under timed conditions. Regular mock practice helps pupils develop the speed, concentration and exam stamina required for the real assessment.

The Royal Grammar School

According to The Royal Grammar School High Wycombe Admissions Policy, pupils who achieve the qualifying score of 121 in the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test may be considered for Year 7 admission. Children who do not initially meet the qualifying standard may still be deemed eligible through the Selection Review process, subject to the school’s admissions criteria.

Wycombe High School

Wycombe High School in High Wycombe admits approximately 192 girls each year through the same Buckinghamshire GL Assessment, serving families across the HP13, HP11 and HP12 areas.

Buckinghamshire Council

Buckinghamshire Council states that more students qualify for Grammar School each year than there are places available. While achieving the qualifying score is essential, offers of admission are made in accordance with each school’s published admissions and oversubscription arrangements.

11 Plus Easter Revision - FAQs Explained

How important is Easter for 11 Plus students in Downley?
Easter gives Year 5 pupils in Downley a chance to focus on areas they find difficult before the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test, without the usual pressure of schoolwork. With fewer distractions, children can review topics at their own speed and see where they might need extra help.
Which Grammar Schools do Downley students prepare for?

Most Downley students prepare for Royal Grammar School High Wycombe and Wycombe High School. Both schools use the same Buckinghamshire GL Assessment. Because Downley is close to central High Wycombe, families here are well placed for both schools.

How hard is it to get into a Grammar School from Downley?
Competition is tough because more pupils reach the qualifying score each year than there are places at either school. Getting the standardised score of 121 means a child can be considered, but it does not guarantee a place, as each school has its own oversubscription rules.
Is the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus the same for all schools in Downley?
Yes. Both schools use the same Secondary Transfer Test, which is taken once in September and used for all Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools. After the results, each school applies its own catchment area and admissions priorities.
When should my child take mock exams before the Downley 11 Plus?
Many Downley parents start mocks between January and April of Year 5 and gradually increase frequency as September approaches. Easter sits in the middle of that window, making it an ideal time to increase mock exam practice before the real test.
Is Easter revision enough for 11 Plus preparation in Downley?
Easter revision is very helpful, but it works best as part of a longer plan, not just on its own. This 8-day course helps students strengthen weak areas and build on progress made earlier in the year, before the final months of September preparation.
How can my child improve speed in the 11 Plus exam during Easter?
During the course, students get faster through regular timed practice, learning question types, using effective exam techniques, and taking mock exams often. Practising under real time limits helps pupils think more quickly without losing accuracy on exam day.
