“The best English education money can buy.”
Kate and Wills will have to take it in turns to make the sandwiches and drag the bedcovers off Prince George in the mornings as the little prince is off to big school.
It’s been revealed that George will attend Thomas’s School in Battersea, a mixed private school that’s a 20-minute drive from Kensington Palace, where the family lives, according to The Telegraph.
Kate, William and their two kids made the move to London from Norfolk earlier this year, having decided that George should go to school in the capital.
According to The Good Schools Guide, Thomas’s is “a big, busy, slightly chaotic school for cosmopolitan parents who want their children to have the best English education money can buy.
“That is what they want and, to a large degree, that is what they get.”
The school, where fees start from £17,604 (around €19,100) per year, suits outgoing kids best, the guide continues.
“Plenty of opportunities for pupils to excel but withdrawn types might find it all somewhat overwhelming.”
Class sizes average at around 20 pupils at the selective school, though George can expect plenty of diversity in the classroom.
The pupils come from a variety of nationalities and among them speak 19 different languages at home.
‘Be kind’ is the motto at Thomas’s.
George, who turned four in May, will be young for his year, with his mum admitting he doesn’t know what he’s in for.
“I’m not sure George has any idea what’s going to hit him,” Kate told parents from Thomas’ whom she met at an event in March.
Attending Thomas’s school marks a new departure for the Windsors – George’s father Prince William and uncle Harry went to Wetherby School in Notting Hill, while grandad Charles had a governess between the ages of five and eight and then attended Hill House School in Knightsbridge.
Meanwhile, mum Kate attended St Andrew’s, a private school in Berkshire where she grew up.
We’re very much looking forward to seeing photos of the little prince in his uniform come September.
