Here are a few important points to consider:

Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test

The Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test is set by GL assessment , Children sit 2 multiple-choice papers, covering English, Maths, Verbal Skills and Non-Verbal Skills. The test is multiple-choice and assesses both accuracy and reasoning ability. (Buckinghamshire Council — Secondary Transfer Testing Process)

Sir William Borlase's Grammar School

Buckinghamshire Council’s admissions listing shows a Year 7 admission number of 150 for the September 2027 entry. Under its published admissions arrangements, pupils must score 121 or more on the qualifying Secondary Transfer Test to be considered eligible for a place.

John Hampden Grammar School

John Hampden Grammar School, a selective boys’ Grammar School in nearby High Wycombe, is also within reach for Marlow families. It has a published admission number of 180 places for Year 7, and as with other Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools, boys need to reach the qualifying score of 121.

To make better use of the school break and build a more consistent approach to Verbal Reasoning, a Year 5 pupil joined our Easter Revision Course. Regular lessons, timed exercises and tutor feedback helped highlight which question types needed further practice. The course gave the family a clearer structure for continuing revision, while the pupil returned to school with greater awareness of how to approach verbal reasoning questions.
