Grammar schools in Buckinghamshire

Catchment areas, maps and 11+ guidance for every grammar school in Bucks

There are 13 state grammar schools in Buckinghamshire. 13 use a designated catchment or distance priority. Tap any school for its catchment map, distances and 11+ guide.

In Buckinghamshire the 11+ is a qualification, not a ranking. A Secondary Transfer Test Score of 121 or above qualifies a child for grammar school, but a higher score gives no extra admissions priority. That is why every Bucks grammar is a catchment school: once a child qualifies, places are decided by catchment, home-to-school distance and siblings, not by test score. See the full Bucks Transfer Test guide.
