A concise parent hub for the current admission status, age rules, schools open now and the next action to take.

Boundary case: 3 years 11 months ordinarily remains Nursery; exactly 4 years ordinarily moves to Lower KG. Any permitted one-month relaxation requires school approval and is not automatic.
