Do girls get regular football at Janaki Model School, Bowenpally, or is the ground mostly for the boys?

We may rent on the Bowenpally side from next year, closer to my partner's business, so I'm looking at schools there for our daughter's class 5. She's football-mad. Plays with me every Sunday and with the colony boys most evenings. Janaki Model School is on the list. Before anything else I'd like to know: do girls in the primary classes get to play football in games periods, or does it quietly become the boys' game while the girls get throwball? That's what happened at her current school, so it's the first thing I'm asking everywhere 🤷 Anyone with a child there, or who has watched a games period?

    I have no experience of Janaki Model, but visiting preschools and schools for my daughter taught me to ask for the PE timetable of one class rather than reading the brochure. It shows whether boys and girls share the same games period and what is planned for it. Some schools also let parents watch a games period during an admission visit if you ask in advance. That would answer your question better than any of us can.

      yes to this. also ask who coaches. at my son's school football is run by an outside academy after school, the girls batch exists on paper but never has enough kids so it gets merged. if she's that keen maybe look at a colony or academy batch for girls whichever school you pick
