CBSE School, Sharjah , late entry
Hi, my daughter turns 5 on 29 July 2016. Since she was a bit late talking I decided I would wait a year and enroll her for kg 1 in the 2016/17 academic year. Will her age be a problem now? Currently she is attending a British nursery but I’m planning on a CBSE school for her in shariah. Is there something I shou.d be worried about. Thank you.
Dear Shaash,
You will need to contact the schools to which you wish to apply directly to find out their policy in this respect. Since your daughter would be among the oldest in her class by a day or two (given the cut off date of 31st July) I do not think this should be a major issue, but schools are permitted to take their own view on this and may feel that since she is age-appropriate for KG2, that this is the grade to be applied for. You can argue for demotion if you feel that KG1 is more appropriate.
