The third in line to the throne can be seen wearing a blue backpack and a quilted navy coat.

Prince George will experience a unique educational experience at the school.

ITV News Correspondent Neil Connery reports:

The school's approach to learning is based on the child's natural development, rather than trying to enforce more rigid developmental standards.

The school differs in many ways to a traditional nursery school - there are mixed age groups in the classroom, the children have three hours of uninterrupted working time and a hands-on working experience.
