Bourne End's Route to Grammar School

Bourne End is a thriving village with a strong educational ethos, and many local families set their sights on the excellent Buckinghamshire grammar schools. Royal Grammar School (RGS) High Wycombe, Wycombe High School, and Sir William Borlase's Grammar School in nearby Marlow are all within easy commuting distance, but securing a place requires a strong performance in the Buckinghamshire secondary transfer test based on the GL Assessment format.

Think Smart Academy's High Wycombe centre is just 10 minutes from Bourne End, making it the closest specialist 11+ centre for local families. We have worked with children from Bourne End Academy, Claytons Primary School, and other local primaries, helping them achieve the scores needed for their first-choice grammar schools. Our tutors understand the specific demands of the Buckinghamshire test, the question formats, the time pressure, and the scoring thresholds that separate successful candidates.

Every child starts with a free diagnostic assessment covering Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. We then build a structured programme that addresses their specific gaps, develops exam technique, and progressively builds confidence through regular practice and termly mock exams. With classes capped at eight students, your child gets the focused attention they need to reach their full potential.
