After spending lockdown in Anmer Hall in Norfolk, where they were home-schooled, Princess Charlotte and Prince George have returned to school at Thomas’ Battersea—much to Prince William’s apparent relief—where they are progressing to Year One and Year Three, respectively.
“I think every parent is breathing a sigh of relief that school has started again,” William reportedly told a police officer during an engagement in Belfast. “Five months—it’s been wonderful, but it’s been a long five months.”
A private institution in London known for its well-rounded curriculum that offers enriching courses such as ballet, drama, foreign language, art and music, alongside core academic subjects, Thomas’ Battersea has often been described as “the best English education money can buy”, with a waiting list that allegedly begins at birth. Students of the school are encouraged to work on “understanding the world”, and the institution’s most important rule is to “be kind”.
And as William and Kate Middleton's school-aged children progress in their education, they’ll be looking at a busier curriculum for the year ahead.
