Results from last year’s 11 Plus exam have been made available, but a breakdown from those privately educated is omitted.
The information available in the table shows how many pupils from Buckinghamshire state school were eligible to attend grammar school this year, yet the breakdown of privately educated pupils who passed the 11 Plus exam has not yet been released.
In the breakdown, Buckingham Park CE School and Hannah Ball School are new and expanded schools, and did not have Year 6 pupils at the time of the transfer test.
Those boxes that have been left blank in the table show that no children qualified for grammar school entry.

The revamped test has been the focus of a lot of controversy in recent months as opposition leaders and campaigners call for it to be abolished.
David Williams, Wycombe Labour's parliamentary candidate, said there is a “huge disparity” between the results of state schools in Wycombe town schools, which Labour outline vary from a 2 per cent and 25 per cent pass rate.
He added: “But all of the results for state schools in Wycombe town are below the Bucks average of 31 per cent and well below the average of the private schools (65 per cent).
“We wanted to include the results of individual private schools in Wycombe town in our analysis but for some reason neither BCC nor the grammar schools have made them available.
“We suspect the contrast between the results of individual state schools in Wycombe town and individual private schools in Wycombe town would be extreme and just too embarrassing for BCC and the grammar schools.
“But the taxpayer is paying for the 11 Plus and the taxpayer is entitled to know the results for all the children taking the test whichever school they go to.”
Helen Fincher, Buckinghamshire County Council spokesman, said: “The county council’s role is to administer the secondary transfer test on behalf on the Buckinghamshire grammar schools.
“Legally, Buckinghamshire County Council has no control over the selective admission policies of academies and it’s the responsibility of the grammar academies to determine the test arrangements.
“It is, therefore, more appropriate that any comment on test data and outcomes comes from the Buckinghamshire grammar schools.”
