The eldest child of the Cambridge family, five-year-old George will be entering Year One of school when he returns this week.
He attends the private Thomas’s Academy in Battersea, which has a broad curriculum, including ballet, which George is expected to start this year.
The school’s website says the performance dance “develops students’ physical skills, stamina, creativity, expression and musicality, using a range of sounds and musical styles.
“This strong foundation prepares students for a successful transition to Ballet and other dance genres.”
Other subjects taught from an early age include French, art, music and P.E.
