Grammar School Admissions for Pupils in Maidenhead

With 3 separate selective systems realistically in reach, Maidenhead families are effectively competing across several different applicant pools at once, each with its own rules.
Understanding specific testing authorities ensures targeted preparation:

Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test

Maidenhead pupils can sit the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test, used by all 13 Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools; the Slough Consortium’s shared entrance exam, currently produced by GL Assessment and moving to a new provider, Quest Assessments, for the test sat in September 2027; or a separately set entrance test for one of Reading’s Grammar Schools.

Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools Near Maidenhead

Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools near Maidenhead, such as Sir William Borlase’s (Marlow) and Burnham Grammar, admit pupils via the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test. GL Assessment administers this process, which comprises two paper-based tests assessing verbal skills, numerical ability, and non-verbal reasoning. The qualifying threshold is a standardised score of 121.

Slough Consortium Grammar Schools

Slough Consortium Grammar Schools, including Herschel Grammar School, Langley Grammar School, St Bernard’s Catholic Grammar School and Upton Court Grammar School, use a shared selective test. The standardised qualifying score remains at 111.

Qualifying Score and Admissions Eligibility

Achieving the qualifying score (121 in Bucks, 111 in Slough) establishes academic eligibility but does not guarantee a place. School allocations depend on published admissions criteria, including catchment distance, feeder status, or religious criteria.

Supporting Maidenhead Pupils During the 11 Plus Easter Break

"Keeping Options Open Between Two Routes"

While still deciding between the Buckinghamshire and Slough Consortium routes for their son, one Maidenhead family joined the Easter course. Because the sessions built general exam skills rather than one specific format, the family felt able to make that decision later in the year without their son's preparation feeling wasted either way.

"Adjusting to a Separately-Set Test"

Another family used the course to help their daughter get used to timed, multiple-choice conditions ahead of a Reading Grammar School's own entrance test, which follows a different structure from the Buckinghamshire papers her older sibling had sat previously. Our 8 live sessions helped the pupil master the question format effectively.

11 Plus Easter Revision - FAQs Explained

Which Grammar Schools Do Maidenhead Students Prepare For?
Maidenhead students commonly target South Buckinghamshire schools, such as Sir William Borlase’s (Marlow), Burnham Grammar, Wycombe High, and John Hampden, as well as Slough Consortium schools (Langley, Herschel, Upton Court, and St Bernard’s).
How hard is it to get into Langley Grammar School from Maidenhead?
