UK in transition: By divine appointment

The headmaster at Prince George’s new school, Lambrook preparatory school in Ascot, has been described as a committed Christian.

Jonathan Perry is head of the 52-acre private school, which describes itself as having ‘a strong Christian and family ethos’ and is ten minutes’ drive from the home of the new Prince and Princess of Wales. Mr Perry is the son of retired evangelical bishop John Perry.

Poignantly, George and his two siblings, Charlotte and Louis, started as day pupils at the co-ed school – a Christian school – on the morning of Thursday 8 September. Their grandmother, the Queen, died later the same day. Lambrook was founded in 1860. Alumni include two of Queen Victoria’s grandsons.
