Specialist preparation for the Buckinghamshire transfer test, helping your child secure a place at the county's top grammar schools.
If you've looked into 11+ preparation before, you'll know that not all transfer tests are the same. The Buckinghamshire exam is administered by the county council and focuses on verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, a different format from the GL Assessment papers used in Slough and the surrounding Berkshire area.
That distinction matters. Generic 11+ materials won't fully prepare your child for what they'll face on test day. At Think Smart Academy in High Wycombe, every lesson is built around the Bucks-specific test format, question types, and scoring patterns.
Our centre on Crendon Street sits right in the heart of High Wycombe, within easy reach of families across the town and surrounding areas including Marlow, Beaconsfield, and Hazlemere.
