11+ Tuition Across Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire is one of the few remaining counties in England with a fully selective grammar school system. With schools like Royal Grammar School High Wycombe, Wycombe High, Dr Challoner's Grammar, Dr Challoner's High, Aylesbury Grammar, Aylesbury High, John Hampden Grammar, and Sir William Borlase's, the county offers an exceptional range of grammar school options. But the Buckinghamshire secondary transfer test is demanding, and with thousands of children sitting the exam each September, thorough preparation is the single biggest factor in determining whether your child secures a place.

Think Smart Academy has been preparing Buckinghamshire children for the 11+ for over a decade from our High Wycombe centre. We draw students from across the county, from Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross in the south, through Marlow and Bourne End, to Chesham and Amersham in the east. Our tutors are Buckinghamshire 11+ specialists who understand not just the GL Assessment format, but the admissions nuances for each grammar school: how scoring works, what thresholds schools typically apply, and how to position your child's application for the best possible outcome.

Our structured programme covers Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning as separate, dedicated sessions. Every child starts with a free diagnostic assessment, and we track progress rigorously through regular testing and detailed parent reports. Termly mock exams under real conditions prepare your child for the experience of sitting the test, not just the content. With over 1,000 grammar school placements and an 85%+ success rate, we are the centre Buckinghamshire families trust when a grammar school place is the goal.

Buckinghamshire grammar schools prioritise <strong>Bucks residents</strong> in their admissions criteria. Out-of-county applicants can still apply but generally need a higher score to be considered. If you live in Buckinghamshire, you have a structural advantage, but you still need to score well. Our programme is designed to maximise your child's score regardless of where you live.
We are a <strong>specialist 11+ centre</strong>, not a general homework club or multi-subject tutoring service. Our entire programme is built around the GL Assessment. Classes are capped at 8 students, every child receives a free diagnostic assessment, and we run termly mock exams under timed conditions. With over <strong>1,000 grammar school placements</strong>, our track record speaks for itself.
