Use our free interactive tool to check whether any Aylesbury or Vale of Aylesbury property falls within primary or secondary school catchment zones. Buckinghamshire is a fully selective authority — grammar schools admit by 11+, while community secondaries still use distance.
Free interactive map — enter any Aylesbury or HP postcode and see exactly which school catchment areas it falls within.
Aylesbury operates within Buckinghamshire's selective system. Grammar schools (e.g. Aylesbury Grammar, Aylesbury High, Sir Henry Floyd) admit by 11+ test rank — catchment distance is only used among children meeting the 121 qualifying score and applying as in-catchment. Plan for both routes when choosing a property.
Buckinghamshire Council administers admissions for community and voluntary-controlled schools. For non-selective secondaries, the default tiebreaker is straight-line distance after looked-after, EHC-plan and sibling priorities.
Grammar schools use the 11+ as the primary selection criterion. Catchment status interacts with the test result — read each grammar's published policy carefully.
Buckinghamshire Council publishes annual admissions statistics including 'last distance offered' figures for every oversubscribed school. Search 'Buckinghamshire school admissions statistics'.

Yes. Buckinghamshire is a fully selective authority. Aylesbury's grammar schools — Aylesbury Grammar (boys), Aylesbury High (girls), Sir Henry Floyd, and others — admit by the Buckinghamshire 11+ Secondary Transfer Test.
For oversubscribed grammars, catchment is used among children who have qualified at the 11+. Out-of-catchment qualifying children may also be admitted depending on places available.
Buckinghamshire Council administers admissions for community and voluntary-controlled schools. Grammars, academies and faith schools set their own criteria.
