Want 11 Plus Revision During the Easter Holidays in Iver?

Iver sits just west of the Slough border, and while the town itself has no Grammar School of its own, families here are within realistic reach of 2 of Buckinghamshire’s 13 Grammar Schools: Burnham Grammar School and Beaconsfield High School. Both schools use the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test (STT), which pupils take in September of Year 6. This makes the Easter holidays a useful time to review progress. There is still time to address any gaps found during Year 5 practice, while also giving more attention to timed, exam-style practice as the test approaches.

Our Easter course is built around that specific pressure point. Rather than reteaching content from scratch, sessions focus on live small-group teaching, full timed papers, and feedback that tells parents precisely where their child stands against the qualifying standard, so Iver families leave the holiday with a clear, evidence-based plan for the months leading into September.

The Iver Parents’ Guide to Buckinghamshire Grammar School Admissions

Understanding how Grammar School qualification works for students living in Iver, Buckinghamshire involves two primary components: achieving the required qualifying score on the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test (STT) and understanding how admissions distance criteria affect school placement.
Here is what parents need to know:

Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test

GL Assessment provides the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test (STT), which pupils take in September of Year 6. It consists of 2 multiple-choice papers, each about 45 minutes long. Paper 1 covers English and Verbal Reasoning, and Paper 2 covers Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning, including spatial reasoning.

Burnham Grammar School Places

Burnham Grammar School has a Published Admission Number of 180 places for Year 7, and is co-educational with its own sixth form. Its catchment prioritises nearby areas including Burnham, Taplow, Egypt, Hedgerley, Fulmer and Middle Green, with places beyond catchment allocated by distance where the school is oversubscribed.

Beaconsfield High School (girls) Places

Beaconsfield High School also has a Published Admission Number of 186 places for Year 7, and is a girls’ grammar school with its own sixth form. The school states that it aims to offer a place to most or all qualified first-preference applicants, though demand regularly exceeds places available.

Buckinghamshire Qualifying Score

Buckinghamshire Council states that children who achieve a standardised score of at least 121 meet the qualifying standard for Grammar School Entry. Because demand is high across south-east Bucks, achieving 121 does not guarantee a place at a specific school if distance criteria are not met, highlighting the need to score as strongly as possible to maximise options.

Timeline for entry in 2028 - Buckinghamshire 11 Plus

If your child was born between 1 September 2016 and 31 August 2017, they are due to start secondary school in September 2028. The key dates below outline the main stages families need to follow for the 2028 Buckinghamshire secondary school admissions process, based on the timeline published by Buckinghamshire Council.

What Local Families Found Helpful During 11 Plus Preparation

"A Buckinghamshire pupil strengthening English comprehension"

A Year 5 pupil from Buckinghamshire joined our Easter course to improve reading comprehension ahead of the Secondary Transfer Test. During the sessions, the tutor focused on understanding passages, identifying relevant details and interpreting unfamiliar vocabulary in context. Regular guided practice gave the pupil more opportunities to apply these skills to different question styles.

"Developing a more structured revision routine"

To improve their approach to independent practice, an Iver pupil joined our Easter revision course. The tutor helped the pupil review incorrect answers, recognise recurring mistakes and apply feedback to similar questions. This process encouraged a more organised approach to revision and helped the pupil understand where further practice was needed.

11 Plus Easter Revision - FAQs Explained

How important is Easter for 11 Plus students in Iver?
Easter in Year 5 is a vital checkpoint in your child’s preparation. It provides dedicated time to fix weak spots and introduce timed practice before the summer exams.
Which Grammar Schools Do Iver Students Prepare For?
Iver pupils mainly target Buckinghamshire schools like Burnham Grammar, Dr Challoner’s, and Beaconsfield High. Many also apply to nearby Slough grammar schools as a secondary option.
How hard is it to get into Burnham Grammar School from Iver?
It is tough because your child must score 121 or higher on the entrance exam. However, living in Iver gives local children an advantage over out-of-area applicants.
Is the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus the same for all schools in the consortium?
Yes, every grammar school in Buckinghamshire uses the exact same GL Assessment test. A score of 121 or more makes your child eligible for any of the 13 schools in the area.
When should my child take mock exams before the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus?
Your child should take a baseline mock during Easter of Year 5 to identify skill gaps. They should then sit full-length mock exams between June and August to master exam timing.
Is Easter revision enough for 11 Plus preparation in Iver?
No, a short burst of revision over Easter is not enough on its own. The exam requires ongoing study over several months, though Easter is great for a focused boost.
How can my child improve speed in the 11 Plus exam during Easter?
Start with timed sections and individual questions before moving towards complete papers. Encourage your child to recognise familiar question types, avoid spending too long on one problem and check answers efficiently. Regular timed practice can gradually improve both pace and confidence.
