Shift work and a 3.30 pickup. Would Guru Nanak High School in Narayanaguda suit class 3 next year?

Our daughter starts class 2 at her current CBSE school next week. I work rotating shifts at a hospital and the 3.30 pickup there is already a juggle, so we're starting to look at class 3 options a year early. Narayanaguda is on my route to work. Does Guru Nanak High School take children into class 3, and is there a test for joiners? Also curious how State Board feels in the primary classes compared with CBSE, if anyone has seen both.

    No experience with this school, sorry. Since pickup is the real problem, I'd ask about the primary timings before anything else. When we were comparing schools for my son, two of them let the small classes out earlier than the big ones, which would have undone the whole reason for moving. After that, whether class 3 children use school buses or private vans.

      Good point, timing is the whole reason. I'll ask for the class 3 dismissal time first and the rest after.

    We live in Domalguda, so that stretch is part of my daily drive. Narayanaguda at school time is slow, so if you're planning to do drops between shifts, time it once on a weekday before you decide. Can't help with the inside of the school. Class 3 seats only open up when someone leaves, so I'd ask them around December or January rather than wait for an admissions banner.
