ROYAL NEWS: Prince George’s Surprising School Decision: The Real Reason He’s Not Joining Year 7 This Year… Find out!
Prince George attends Lambrook with his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, but despite finishing Year 6, the second in line to the throne won’t be moving to secondary school just yet…
Thousands of children are – somewhat – looking forward to starting secondary school in a few weeks – but Prince George is not among them.
The second in line to the throne recently turned 11 – the age most girls and boys move on from primary school. He currently attends Lambrook, along with siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis but despite finishing Year 6, he will not start Year 7 in September at a new school.
The reason for that is perfectly simple – his current school caters to students from the ages of 3 to 13, up until they reach Year 8. As a result, the Prince has another two years to go.
Located close to his family’s home in Windsor, Adelaide Cottage, Lambrook is situated in 52 acres of Berkshire countryside. It boasts facilities including a golf course, swimming pool, theatre, sports centre, as well as various art studios, and the wide-ranging activities include tap dancing, bagpipe playing, and swimming.
Pupils are also expected to attend school on Saturdays, making it a six-day week. It is unknown where George will be for his secondary education, although one contender is Northamptonshire-based Oundle School, described as one of Britain’s leading co-educational boarding and day schools.
Should George attend, it would be the first time a male heir would have attended a co-educational school. It would mark a change for the royals; Prince William and King Charles, George’s father and grandfather, attended the prestigious Berkshire school Eton, as did his uncle, Prince Harry. The £34,000-a-year co-educational school dates back to 1556, but boasts a modern ethos.
