Kate and William to send their children to a different school so they can do the school run

After William moves the family from Apartment 1A Kensington Palace to four-bed Adelaide Cottage, the siblings will receive a top education together.

Kate and William are sending all three of their children to a different school - so they will be able to do the daily school run.

The royal couple today revealed that George, nine, Charlotte, seven, and four-year-old Louis have enrolled at the £7,000-a-term ($12,000) Lambrook School near Ascot, west of London.

George and Charlotte previously attended Thomas’ School in Battersea, south London, while four-year-old Louis went to Willcocks Nursery in South Kensington, west London.

But after William moves the family from Apartment 1A Kensington Palace to four-bed Adelaide Cottage, the siblings will receive a top education together, The Sun reported.

If the royal youngsters attend full-time without boarding, it will cost the Cambridges an estimated £53,508 ($91,600) per year.

The private school is a nine-mile drive from their new abode near Windsor Castle.

But the duke, 40, who likes to do the school run, can now do most of the journey across private roads on Windsor Great Park to the gates.

Lambrook is a co-ed preparatory which allows part-time boarding and scored ‘excellent’ in its most recent Independent Schools Inspectorate.

As well as the traditional subjects, it offers pupils the chance to try out scuba diving, podcast making and even a nine-hole golf course.

Chess, life-saving, tap dance, bee-keeping and song-writing are also on offer at the “thriving” independent school, home to 620 pupils.

William and Kate, along with security experts, have been seen visiting the school “multiple times” this year on their search for a place for all three children.

The duke even chatted to a pupil there about Latin lessons, it was claimed.

The siblings are now said to be “very excited” about going to school together.

A Palace source today said: “This decision to move to Windsor and for George, Charlotte and Louis to go to school together was always about putting the children first. It is the best thing for the kids.

“Both William and Catherine are very keen to do the school run.

“Lambrook is very much sports-focused and all three children do love their sport.

Lambrook started in 1860 and its first royal pupils were Queen Victoria’s grandsons, Prince Christian Victor and Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein, who joined in 1878.

For the past 10 years, it has been run by headteacher Jonathan Perry and his wife Jenny.

On its website, Jonathan claims: “We give our pupils the ‘Feathers to Fly’ so that when they move on to the next stage of their educational journey, they will spread their wings and take flight; leaving as confident, happy, engaging, mature, considerate and thoughtful young adults who are outward looking global citizens.”

And he said of the trio’s move: “We are delighted that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will be joining us this coming September and very much look forward to welcoming the family, as well as all of our new pupils, to our school community.”

England cricketer Kevin Pietersen sent his son Dylan, now 11, to the school, it is claimed.

William and Harry went to prep school at Ludgrove before joining Eton, while Kate was a part-time boarder at St Andrew’s school near Pangbourne before going to Marlborough College.
