• Buckinghamshire 11+ results and applications 2026: what to do next

Within two miles of the published Slough reference point, 4 listed grammar schools use the Slough Consortium test. The 3 Buckinghamshire grammar schools shown within ten miles use the separate Secondary Transfer Test. Sitting one does not register a child for the other. Slough Council says the consortium runs its test independently of the council's school application. Check the policy and test route for each school you might name.

For September 2027 entry, Slough residents and Buckinghamshire residents each have a 31 October 2026 school-application deadline. Apply through the council where your child lives, including any school across the border among your preferences. Families elsewhere should check their home council's deadline. A test result is not a school application or an offer.

Schools are ordered by approximate straight-line distance. Some are in neighbouring towns. Offers are the published National Offer Day count for September 2026 entry, rather than available places for the next intake.

Different tests can serve schools near the same town. Read the relevant route before choosing practice, registering or arranging score sharing.

1. Open each school guide to check qualification, priority and current admissions evidence.
2. Check travel from your home address. A straight-line radius can cross rivers, county boundaries or routes with slow public transport.
3. If your child has a test result, read the guide for that route and submit your home council's school application by its published deadline.
4. If you are planning for a later entry year, check each test's registration window and whether its score must be shared with another school.
5. Put schools in your genuine preference order and include an option your child is eligible for.
