Where did Princess Diana go to school?
PRINCESS Diana became one of the most famous women in the world when she married into the royal family. Diana went to a number of schools with her siblings and particularly excelled at music and ballet. Being from a wealthy family, she was sent to private schools and even had time boarding away from home. Silfield Private School in Gayton, Norfolk  In January 1968, Diana was enrolled in a private day school for girls and boys - Silfield School in Norfolk. The small school, which is no longer open, only had 40 pupils, who were the children of local farmers and rich families. 6 Diana was homeschooled before starting Silfield School in Norfolk Credit: Getty  Diana studied there for two years from the age of six, alongside her brother Charles. Riddlesworth Hall School near Thetford  Diana next moved to all-girls boarding school Riddlesworth Hall School which is set in a former country house. It now caters to both boys and girls aged two to 13, and full and part-time boarding is available for children from age seven. Pupils are members of one of four houses, named after prominent British women. 6 Diana studied at all-girls boarding school Riddlesworth Hall School which is set in a former country house Credit: Riddlesworth Hall  6 West Heath School, a public school for girls in Kent, where Princess Diana and her sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale were boarders Credit: Times Newspapers Ltd  West Heath Girls' School in Kent  Diana later joined her sisters and cousin Diana Macfarlane at West Heath Girls' School in 1973. In an upcoming ITV documentary, cousin Diana spoke of their years at West Heath, explaining: Everyone loved to have their photograph on the bedside table.  But cousin Diana revealed that the future Princess used to have photographs of Prince Charles around her bed in her West Heath dorm. She said: With Diana it was always pictures of Prince Charles. She had a school girl crush on him for a very long time.  Diana reminisced that Princess Diana exuded positive energy wherever she went. Like in many upper-class families at the time, Dianas education began at home from her nursery. Before she joined a school, Diana was initially home-schooled at Park House by her governess, Gertrude Allen. Housekeeper Gertrude, who lived in the nearby village of Dersingham, had already taught Dianas mother so was well-known to the family. Diana did not perform well academically and failed her O-levels twice. However, she showed musical talent as a pianist, studied ballet and tap dance and was a skilled diver. Diana was remembered by her Silfield Private School headmistress, Jean Lowe, for her kindness to younger children, animals and helpfulness, but not for academics. Like many wealthy young women, Diana attended a finishing school for a brief time in her life. She studied for one term at The Institut Alpin Videmanette in Switzerland, but she was not a fan of her time there. She wrote in a letter to her nanny Mary Clarke in December 1978: "I hated going to the finishing school except for skiing.  Institut Alpin Videmanette, which closed in 1991, was an all-girl school where pupils were taught skiing, cooking, dressmaking and French.
