None, and none is expected. Board affiliation with the Haryana state board begins at Class 10, so a school teaching to Class 8 does not hold one. Families will need to move the child to another school for Class 9.

The same trust runs both, on the same campus. The institute offers special education, vocational rehabilitation and teacher training. This school is the mainstream Classes 1 to 8 wing — the government register records it as a general school, not a special school, with seven children with special needs among its 171. The website you will find online describes the institute, not this school.

More than most in the block. Ramps, handrails and accessible equipment are recorded, and nine teachers hold a special-education qualification. If your child needs support, this is a school worth visiting.

Among the lowest in the district — a monthly composite fee of a few hundred rupees, plus a small one-time prospectus charge. The school proposed rises for the middle classes this year that go well above its own permitted ceiling, though the amounts involved remain very small. Confirm the current figure with the office.

Small. Under a thousand square metres of land with most of it built on, which leaves roughly 170 square metres open. The specialist rooms are real, but the outdoor space is a yard rather than a field.

The sources disagree. The school's own filing says fifteen academic staff for 171 children; the government register says 31, which most likely counts institute staff on the shared campus. Fifteen is the safer figure for judging class sizes.

Yes, markedly. Class 1 has around 46 children while Classes 6 to 8 have fewer than ten each. Most families appear to move on after the primary years.
