Everything You Need to Know About Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools.
Buckinghamshire has one of the most established grammar school systems in England, with 13 fully selective state grammar schools across the county. All 13 schools use the shared Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test (STT), administered by GL Assessment through The Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools (TBGS) consortium.
The STT is typically sat in September of Year 6, with a qualifying score of 121 or above required. Children only need to sit the test once to be considered for any of the 13 schools.
