Welham Girls’ School is very specific about age criteria, and parents should verify these carefully before registering.
Age is calculated at the start of the academic session, which begins in March/April each year. The requirements are:
For Class VI: the girl must be between 10½ and 12 years of age. For Class VII: between 11½ and 13 years. For Class XI: between 15½ and 17 years.
The school states clearly on its official admissions page that a correlation between age and the class applied for is an essential requirement. The lower age limit for admission in Class VI is 10½ on 1 April of the year of joining.
Misrepresentation or falsification of date of birth results in immediate cancellation of admission without exception. The original birth certificate must be presented at the time of joining and is returned after verification.
Before registering, parents should verify their daughter’s date of birth against the published age criteria. Age eligibility is checked during the admissions process and supporting documents are required at the time of joining.
