Inside Prince George’s epic prep school with a pig farm, golf course and £25k-a-year fees

Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly moving out of London in favour of Berkshire, which means their eldest son Prince George will need a brand new school.

According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are busy looking at alternatives to Thomas’s School in Battersea where eight year old George is currently a student.

As per the Daily Mail, William and Kate are thinking of moving the youngster to Lambrook School in Ascot near Windsor Castle later this year, with a source claiming that they have been seen there “multiple times”.

And while £17,000 a year Thomas’s boasts an impressive ballet room, poetry room, theatre and gym, Lambrook is equally as lavish.

Costing between £6,448 and £6,999 per term plus a further £1,481 per term for boarding, the co-educational prep school is for 590 boys and girls aged three to 13.

If George boards at the school, the bill would be between £23,787 and £25,440 per year, but if he returns home each day it’ll be somewhere between £19,344 and £20,997.

The school is set in 52 acres of Berkshire countryside, making it a good fit for George given mum-of-three Kate’s interest in outdoor learning.

In fact, the school even has its own farm, an orchard and woodland, and prides itself on giving “our children have plenty of opportunities to explore, play, learn and of course, to get muddy!”

The leading school also boasts a nine hole golf course, 25 metre swimming pool and a dance studio for George, whose father has commented on his son’s love for the sport in the past.

The clubs are just as remarkable, with Lambrook offering everything from scuba-diving to mini Masterchef, as well as trips to South Africa, Sweden and Iceland.

With its lavish facilities, it’s no surprise that if George were to attend, he wouldn’t be the only royal to have received an education at Lambrook.

Two of Queen Victoria’s grandsons – Prince Christian Victor and Prince Albert – attended the school for a number of years, with their grandmother often visiting to watch them play sports and perform in concerts.

The move to Lambrook also indicates that Kate and William are thinking about where to send George in the next stage of his education.

Following his parents’ footsteps, the prestigious school sends its students to leading institutions across the country including Eton, where William went, and Marlborough, where Kate went.

But while Lambrook is thought to be the current choice of the Cambridges, other schools reported to be in the running include Ludgrove School and St Andrew’s School in Berkshire.
