Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test preparation

Thorough 11+ preparation in a group of four or fewer.

In my Year 5 course, I develop the English, Maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning skills used in the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test, alongside the exam habits children need to work calmly and accurately.

Year 5 September to July course
Up to 4 Children in each group

02

Prepared, not pressured

I aim to make the format familiar, identify weaker areas and build reliable strategies over time. I support confidence and good exam technique without promising a particular score or school place.

A clear teaching process

I begin by understanding what your child needs.

1

Understand

I build the core knowledge that sits underneath each question type.

2

Practise

I use focused examples to turn new techniques into familiar routines.

3

Measure

I review accuracy and timing to identify the next priority.

4

Prepare

I use realistic practice to develop concentration and test-day habits.

Questions parents ask

Useful things to know.

When does the course run?

I run the course from September of Year 5 through to July of the same academic year.

What does the Buckinghamshire test assess?

The current Secondary Transfer Test assesses verbal, mathematical and non-verbal skills using words, numbers, pictures and diagrams.

Does tuition guarantee a grammar-school place?

No. I can develop your child’s knowledge, familiarity and exam technique, but I cannot guarantee a score or school offer.

A helpful first conversation

Ask me about the next Year 5 group.

I deliberately limit places. Enquire so that I can discuss readiness, current availability and the right starting point with you.
