Need 11 Plus Easter Revision in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire?

Families in Princes Risborough often start their 11 Plus research by asking which direction to look: Aylesbury, roughly eight miles north, or High Wycombe, a similar distance south. Both are realistic options, and both use the same Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test, sat in September of Year 6, so a child’s score matters more than which side of town they apply to.

That’s exactly why this Easter course avoids treating preparation as if it were built around one specific school. Sessions focus on live small-group teaching and full timed papers designed around the Secondary Transfer Test’s real format, so pupils build exam skills and knowledge.

"Mastering Multi-Stage Word Problems in Maths"

A primary school student near Princes Risborough excelled at mental Maths but often lost marks on longer word problems that required pulling key data from multi-step questions. Joining our Easter course gave the student a structured approach to identifying essential numbers, converting units, and working through steps logically. This systematic approach helped improve accuracy and timing across challenging GL-style Maths sets.

11 Plus Easter Revision - FAQs Explained

How important is Easter for 11 Plus students in Princes Risborough?
Easter is a useful opportunity to consolidate key 11 Plus skills before the final preparation stages. Pupils can revisit Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning while building confidence through timed practice.
Which Grammar Schools Do Princes Risborough Students Prepare For?
Princes Risborough pupils may prepare for Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools such as Aylesbury Grammar School, Aylesbury High School, Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School and Dr Challoner’s Grammar School. School choices depend on each family’s preferences, eligibility and admission arrangements.
How hard is it to get into Aylesbury Grammar School from Princes Risborough?
Admission to Aylesbury Grammar School requires achieving a qualifying score of at least 121 in the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test. Families in Princes Risborough should also check the school’s current catchment, oversubscription criteria, and application requirements, as a score of 121 alone does not guarantee a place.
Is the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus the same for all schools in and around Princes Risborough?
Yes, all 13 Grammar Schools across Buckinghamshire belong to the same Grammar Schools Consortium (TBGS) and use the same test set by GL Assessment.
When should my child take mock exams before the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus?
Start with occasional mocks to establish a baseline, then increase exam-style practice in June-July as the test approaches. After each mock, review errors, timing, and question-selection strategies.
Is Easter revision enough for 11 Plus preparation in Princes Risborough?
No, Easter revision alone is rarely sufficient to cover the extensive GL Assessment syllabus and build sustained speed. Regular practice before and after Easter is important for developing knowledge, accuracy and exam technique.
How can my child improve speed in the 11 Plus exam during Easter?
Use short, timed exercises before progressing to longer mixed sections and full practice papers. Review mistakes after each session so your child improves both speed and accuracy, rather than simply rushing.
