The Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur

In 1972, The Hyderabad Public School Society realized the need for another public school. By resolution of the Board of Governors, the society decided to start a new unit. The Late Sri T.B.V. Subhramanyam was entrusted with the project and was appointed the founder principal. Thus a new unit of the Hyderabad Public School came into existence in a rented building at Panjagutta. Later, the Osmania University leased out 40 acres (16 ha) (+20 acres for conservation purpose) of land in at Ramanthapur and the school was shifted to its present site.

The school has nine main buildings: the administrative block (accommodates the Principal’s office), the accounts office and the clerical staff, a two storeyed main academic block, the Principal’s academic office, the Vice-Principal’s office, the staff room, the assembly hall, laboratories, workshop areas, activity rooms and class rooms.

The school is co-ed (since 1986). The boarding facilities are offered for boys only, with approximately 200 places for boarders.

There is a 25-bed dispensary, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer laboratories alongside a Mathematics lab.

• Junior Primary Wing - Class 1 and 2
• Upper Primary Wing - from Class 3 to 5
• Secondary Senior Wing - Classes 6 to 12

Each class has four sections A, B, C, D based on the choice of the first language.

The school in a 40-acre (160,000 m²) closed campus has playgrounds for cricket, hockey, basketball, football, volleyball, badminton, kabaddi, tennis, tennikoit and table tennis .There is a children’s park near the primary wing and parallel bars adjacent to the boarding house.
