Rule at George, Charlotte and Louis' new school that will delight Kate Middleton

Following Kensington Palace's confirmation that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will start at Lambrook School in September, many are wondering when the family will make their permanent move to Adelaide Cottage.

In the statement about the big change, Jonathan Perry, the headmaster at George, Charlotte and Louis's new school expressed his joy at welcoming his new royal pupils. He said: “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." While the Cambridge trio will surely be very excited about the upcoming move, there is one strict rule in place at Lambrook which will ease any of Prince William and Kate's nerves.

The preparatory school's website outlines their strict anti-bullying policy in a 21-page document and explains how they aim to put a stop to cyberbullying as well as verbal and physical incidents which happen on school grounds.

Their official statement reads: "Lambrook School is committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of its pupils so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at Lambrook."

This stringent approach is something that will certainly put The Duchess of Cambridge's mind at ease as she reportedly left her school because she was being bullied.

Kate first attended Downe House School in Berkshire and later moved to Marlborough College in Wiltshire where she thrived and was very popular.

A friend at her new school revealed to the Daily Mail : "Apparently she had been bullied very badly and she certainly looked thin and pale. She had very little confidence."

Lambrook charges an increasing annual fee as the children go through the school, meaning that the three Cambridge children's education will cost an incredible £71,344 a year.

When he joins in Year 1, Prince Louis's annual fees will amount to £17,556, while Princess Charlotte's will total £25,792 and Prince George's will be the highest at £27,996 per year.

While a move will certainly be unnerving at first, Lambrook boasts a range of incredible facilities which will soon put the three young royals at ease. The clubs on offer include a 9-hole golf course, a polo field, a bee farm, scuba diving clubs and a mini Masterchef club.

Lambrook is set in 52 acres of countryside and gives its pupils “feathers to fly” and a “delicious sense of freedom”. It has been described as a “classic prep school” with a “heart of gold”, with their website explaining that their students can adventure around the vast grounds with “total freedom to explore, provided you’ve got your wellies on”.

While Lambrook is a boarding school, it is known that George, Charlotte and Louis will just go there for the day. However, every student has the option of occasionally sleeping over at the school.

A source told The Telegraph : "Even the most local parents like the idea of their smalls being able to stay over for a night when necessary – it means they can throw dinner parties and have hangovers without having to get the kids to school the next day."
