Missed the deadline for Bucks 11+ sign up

What do I do?

I usually do this kinda stuff for my little brother and I had signed him up for the Berks 11+ but the Bucks one completely slipped my mind.

I have put in a query on the Bucks website but where do I go from here?


I'm so screwed.

I’m not a Bucks local so not completely in the know, but I believe if you are at a Bucks primary school it’s an opt out system. Otherwise the DC is automatically registered.

Is your brother at a Bucks primary school?

You mention applying for the Slough tests. Do you live near enough to a Bucks GS for him to be likely to be allocated a place if he qualifies? (I know some areas on the borders will be)

Most areas would class this as a late entry if they allowed it at all, so your brother may get an allocation in the second round but not the first. Unless there’s a valid reason for missing the deadline (serious illness etc).

Late registration is only allowed for those moving into Bucks after the deadline.
See this page.
As Tinkers said, if your brother attends a Bucks primary school he will be entered automatically. Where (roughly) do you live?
