Their admissions rules differ: some use a priority area or distance, while others reserve places by test score. Open a school page for its recorded rules, then check the school's current policy before applying. 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.

Each school page names the test recorded in our data; confirm the current test and registration route with the school or consortium. **Does a higher score get you into a Buckinghamshire grammar school?** No. In Buckinghamshire 121 is a qualifying mark, not a ranking, so scoring well above it does not improve your priority for a place. Once your child qualifies, admission is decided by each school's catchment, home-to-school distance and sibling rules. Catchment and admissions details change every year. Always confirm the current catchment, distances and test arrangements directly with each school and your local authority.
