Entry information

OneSchool Global’s Caledonia North and South campuses provide primary and secondary education. A Caledonia North prospectus describes Years 7–13 teaching. The current South-campus-linked UK admissions policy sets 23 April 2027 as its September 2027 application deadline and describes enquiry, application and family interview; neither source confirms a specific Scottish S1 intake or entrance test.

The admissions process

  • Caledonia South’s linked UK admissions policy V11.2 sets 23 April 2027 as the deadline for September 2027 admission. Caledonia North still links an older V11.1 policy, so ask the North campus for its current deadline.
  • Under the South-campus-linked V11.2 policy, parents enquire with the campus, receive the policy and application form, submit the form, and attend a family interview.
  • The Caledonia North prospectus identifies teaching for Years 7–13, while both campus pages describe primary and secondary provision. None of these sources confirms a specific Scottish S1 intake or entrance exam.

For families preparing for the 11+, these four practice areas offer a useful starting point. Use the relevant official assessment guidance to choose the skills your child needs.

A useful place to start

Read a short passage together. Ask your child to find evidence for an answer and explain unfamiliar words in context.

  1. Check the entry point and eligibility

    Confirm the year group, age requirements and any conditions that apply to your child.

    Note any published registration, assessment, application and offer-response dates that apply to your child’s route. They may be separate steps.

  3. Check the assessment guidance

    If an assessment applies, look for official examples, question formats, timings and answer instructions to help plan your child’s preparation.

  4. Check fees and financial support

    Look at fees, bursaries and scholarships, including any separate forms, evidence and deadlines.

Campus and year group

  • Contact the relevant Caledonia campus to ask whether it has a place in your child’s specific year group and what Scottish year group that corresponds to. The policy gives an application deadline but not a year-group-specific intake or assessment format.
