Preparing for the 11 Plus in Long Crendon This Easter?

For families in Long Crendon, passing the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test (STT) is the first step towards Grammar School admission. Boys may consider Aylesbury Grammar School, while girls may look towards Aylesbury High School, with Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School also providing a Grammar School option in the area. Catchment and admission priorities vary by school, so meeting the STT qualifying standard remains essential.

This makes the Easter holidays a useful time for focused 11 Plus preparation. Pupils can review weaker areas, practise timed questions and become more familiar with the Secondary Transfer Test format before September. Our course gives Long Crendon pupils structured small-group teaching and timed practice papers, helping families understand their child’s current strengths and areas for further practice.

"A Clear Revision Routine Without Taking Over the Holiday"

The Easter break can look spacious on the calendar but quickly fill up with family plans and activities. One family wanted their child's revision to have a clear structure without assigning independent work to every day of the holiday. The scheduled live sessions of our Easter revision course gave them a defined study timetable while leaving the remaining days available for normal family time.

"Making Verbal Reasoning Easier to Tackle"

For a family from nearby Haddenham, some verbal reasoning questions were proving difficult, particularly letter codes and word relationships. During the Easter revision course, the live online tutor introduced simple, step-by-step ways to work through these question types. By using clear methods instead of guessing, the pupil became more comfortable tackling challenging GL verbal reasoning questions.

11 Plus Easter Revision - FAQs Explained

How important is Easter for 11 Plus students in Long Crendon?
Easter is a useful preparation point because it gives Year 5 pupils time to strengthen weaker areas before the final months of 11 Plus preparation. A focused revision programme can build confidence without relying on last-minute intensive study.
Which Grammar Schools Do Long Crendon Students Prepare For?
Because Long Crendon sits within the Buckinghamshire local authority, students primarily target Aylesbury Grammar School (boys) and Aylesbury High School (girls), as well as Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School (co-educational) and other Buckinghamshire schools.
How hard is it to get into Aylesbury Grammar School from Long Crendon?
Admission requires passing the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus with a standardised score of at least 121. Since Long Crendon falls within the official catchment area for Aylesbury Grammar School, any qualified boy living in the village who puts the school as a top preference stands a very strong chance of securing a place.
Is the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus the same for all schools in Long Crendon?
Yes, all Grammar Schools in Buckinghamshire use the same entrance test, the Secondary Transfer Test set by GL Assessment.
When should my child take mock exams before the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus?
Take initial mocks around Easter in Year 5 to identify weak areas early, then take realistic timed mocks between May and July to build exam stamina. A final practice mock in late August or early September helps fine-tune pacing.
Is Easter revision enough for 11 Plus preparation in Long Crendon?
No, Easter revision alone rarely covers the extensive GL Assessment syllabus or builds sustained speed. Successful candidates typically build skills consistently over 9 to 12 months, using the Easter break as a high-impact checkpoint rather than a complete substitute for steady, year-round practice.
How can my child improve speed in the 11 Plus exam during Easter?

Use short, timed question sets to practise answering accurately within a fixed period, then review mistakes rather than simply completing more questions. Gradually reduce the time available to build faster decision-making without sacrificing accuracy.
