Schools Mehdipatnam, Hyderabad Shums - The School

Looking at Shums in Mehdipatnam for class 2. What do families do once it ends at class 4?

We live in Mehdipatnam and my son is 6. I'm considering Shums - The School for class 2 next year. Part of the appeal is a smaller set-up close to home. Our current class WhatsApp group runs to a few hundred messages a day, and the actual school notices get lost between birthday wishes and holiday rumours. I'd like something calmer, though I know a parents' group is a parents' group anywhere. My main hesitation is that Shums goes up to class 4, so we'd be changing schools again in three years. For parents whose children are there: when did you start looking for the next school, and was the second move harder than the first?

I can't speak for Shums itself. But a few families in our building had children at small junior schools that stop at class 4 or 5, and the ones who were calmest about the switch had a shortlist ready by class 3. The ones who started in the final year had a stressful few months ❤️ Also worth asking the school where its older children tend to go next. A school in that position generally has a sense of it.
