Looking for 11 Plus Revision During the Easter Holidays in Taplow?

If your child is in Year 5 in Taplow, the Easter holidays are a great time to start revising for the 11 Plus exams. By this time, your child will have completed most of the Year 5 work, and plenty of time will remain before the big test in September. This makes Easter a perfect chance to focus on any topics your child finds tricky, without the usual busy school days getting in the way. This is especially helpful if your family is aiming for schools like Burnham Grammar School or Beaconsfield High School.

Our Online 11 Plus Easter Revision Course is here to help. Over 8 days, your child will join live, small-group lessons. They will practise timed questions and receive tutor feedback to help them improve in Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning before the test.

Understanding Taplow Grammar School Qualification

With Taplow sitting directly inside Burnham Grammar School’s catchment, and Beaconsfield High School a realistic option further afield, families here have more than one route into Buckinghamshire’s selective system.
Here’s why strong 11 Plus preparation is important for Taplow families:

Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test

GL Assessment runs the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test. This exam measures how well children solve verbal, Maths, and non-verbal problems using words, numbers, pictures, and diagrams. Before the test, each child can review a familiarisation booklet. Regular practice in all tested areas over Easter, especially with timed exercises, can help boost accuracy, speed, and confidence.

Burnham Grammar School

To enter Year 7 at Burnham Grammar School, students need a score of at least 121 on the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test (STT), which is run by GL Assessment. The test covers verbal ability, non-verbal (spatial) reasoning, and numerical ability. About 180 places are available each year.

Beaconsfield High School

To join Year 7 at Beaconsfield High School, a girls’ Grammar School in Buckinghamshire, students must score at least 121 in the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test (STT) and apply through their local authority’s Common Application Form.

Buckinghamshire Council

Buckinghamshire Council notes that each year, more students qualify for Grammar School than there are available places. While reaching the qualifying score matters, admission offers depend on each school’s published admissions and oversubscription rules.

How Local Families in Taplow Have Prepared for the 11 Plus

Learning to Read Questions Twice

A Year 5 pupil from Taplow joined our Easter course after losing marks on questions they actually knew the answer to, just from misreading what was being asked. With regular practice and tutor support, the pupil learned to slow down and check each question properly before answering. By the end of the course, they were making far fewer simple mistakes and felt much more sure of themselves.

Getting Comfortable With Non-Verbal Reasoning

Another Taplow family wanted extra help with non-verbal reasoning, since their child found the shape and pattern questions much harder than the rest. Tutors worked through the main question types step by step, with lots of practice along the way. By the end of the eight days, the pupil was tackling these questions with far more confidence and no longer skipping the ones that looked tricky.
