Prince George won’t start secondary school this year – and will have to study on Saturdays

Prince George, who recently celebrated his 11th birthday, has successfully completed Year six at Lambrook. Unlike most children his age who would be preparing to start secondary school in September, the future king’s journey is somewhat unique.

George and his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, have been attending Lambrook school in Berkshire since September 2022. The school is conveniently located a short distance from their Windsor residence, Adelaide Cottage, and is set within 52 acres of the Berkshire countryside

The school boasts impressive facilities such as a golf course, swimming pool, theatre, sports centre, and various art studios. A diverse range of activities are on offer including tap dancing, bagpipe playing, and swimming.

Lambrook distinguishes itself from other schools in several ways. For example, students are required to attend school six days a week, including Saturdays.

Moreover, it caters to pupils aged between three and 13, up until Year eight, which means that Prince George still has two more years left at the school.

Prior to joining Lambrook, George was a student at Willcocks Nursery and Thomas’s Battersea school.

As for where George will continue his secondary education, it remains uncertain. However, one strong possibility is Oundle School in Northamptonshire, known as one of Britain’s leading co-educational boarding and day schools.

If George does choose to attend, it would mark the first time a male heir has attended a co-educational school.

There’s a potential Royal shake-up afoot as young Prince George may not tread the educational path laid before him by his father, Prince William, and grandfather, King Charles. Both these distinguished men attended the prestigious Eton College in Berkshire alongside Uncle Harry.
