Age criteria and admission guidelines

These follow current Ministry of Education regulations and may change. The age that counts is your child's age on 31 March of the year of admission.

• KG1: your child must turn 4 on or before 31 March of the year of admission.
• KG2: your child must turn 5 on or before 31 March of the year of admission.
• Grade 1: your child must be 6, and not older than 8, on 31 March of the year of admission. A two-year age bracket applies to all grades except KG, subject to Ministry of Education approval.
• Children in KG1, KG2 or Grade 1 already studying in Ajman or another emirate are not affected by revised age rules, but need a Passed and Promoted result and an attested TC.
• Transfers from the same curriculum should be completed by 31 May; after that a discontinued or running TC is required.
• Gaps in schooling longer than one month need supporting documents and Ministry of Education approval.
• Students from non-Indian curricula can be admitted only in June, subject to seat availability.
• Admission to Grades 9 and 10 needs prior approval from the Ministry of Education.
• If a transfer certificate shows 'Year' instead of 'Grade', the student is admitted one grade lower because of the difference in age criteria.

Documents needed to confirm admission

• Attested transfer certificate and final result with school stamp and Principal's signature (KG2 to Grade 9, for start-of-year admissions). Not required for KG1, KG2 or Grade 1 if the child has never attended school in the UAE.

Transfer certificate attestation

Direct admission to Grade 10 needs prior approval from CBSE. All admissions depend on seat availability and the school's screening. The Principal may refuse admission to a student whose conduct or academic performance is not satisfactory.

Placement test

Every applicant takes a placement test, which our academic team reviews. Placement decisions consider your child's previous schooling, test performance and age, and are made by the Principal. First placements are provisional and may be adjusted after further observation so that each child is in the right class.

Inclusive admissions

We welcome applications from all students, regardless of gender, race, disability or special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), provided we can meet their individual needs without affecting the education and wellbeing of other students. No student is refused admission only because they have SEND. Students with special needs are considered on an equal basis with all applicants. Read more about inclusion at Woodlem.
