Simon O’Malley, Headmaster at Thomas’s Battersea, said: “We are delighted that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have decided that Princess Charlotte will join her elder brother, Prince George, at Thomas’s Battersea.Charlotte currently goes five mornings a week to the Willcocks Nursery School, just a stone's throw from her Kensington Palace home.
Thomas's prides itself on a 'rounded education', with as much emphasis on kindness as academic results - although many of its 540 boys and girls, aged four to 13, go on to top public schools such as Eton.But the Good Schools Guide describes it as “competitive” and chosen by parents who want the “best education money can buy”.
