Prince George to start school in September

Prince George will attend Thomas’s School, Battersea when he starts school in September.

Headmaster Ben Thomas said the school was looking forward to welcoming the three-year-old royal to the school, Eonline reports.

"We are honored and delighted that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen Thomas's Battersea for Prince George," Mr Thomas said.

The Duke and Duchess are expected to be paying about $8000 per term for the school, which accepts students aged four to 13.

According to the school’s website, “the most important rule is to ‘Be Kind’.”

“We place a greater emphasis on a set of core values, which include kindness, courtesy, confidence, humility and learning to be givers, not takers,” the school states.

Thomas’s Battersea, which is considered one of the best schools in the country, currently has about 540 students and offers a broad curriculum with subjects including art, ballet, drama, ICT, French, music and PE.

The Prince began pre-school at  Westacre Montessori School in Norfolk in January last year.
