According to a report in the Daily Telegraph this week, David Cameron, who was educated at Eton College, is considering sending his elder daughter to an ethnically diverse, inner city comprehensive.

Mr Cameron is understood to have visited the school - a Church of England all-girls’ comprehensive close to Downing Street - in the search for a place next September for his 10-year-old daughter Nancy.

It is understood Mr Cameron and his wife Samantha, who studied at Marlborough College, the same school as the Duchess of Cambridge - have decided to spurn a fee-paying school for Nancy.

In doing so, Mr Cameron is set to become the first Conservative Prime Minister to have entrusted his children’s education to the state sector while still in office.

The conundrum I am asking an answer to is, if David Cameron had never entered politics - would he have been looking around for a state school to send his daughter to?

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
