Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s school Thomas’s Battersea is officially encouraging parents to home school their children amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

The measure is reported to be a precautionary one, as nobody in the school is confirmed to have tested positive for the virus as of yet. 

According to the Sun, Thomas’s Battersea is encouraging parents to homeschool students amid the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Prince George has been a student at the school for two years now, while his litter sister Princess Charlotte joined him at this year.

Several students at Battersea as well as Clapham, Kensington, and Fulham, were reportedly tested for COVID-19 with none of the results coming back as positive.

The publication states Prince George and Princess Charlotte will be learning remotely from home.

A spokesperson for Thomas’s London Day Schools has since given a statement explaining the decision:

"Due to the increasing numbers of children and staff being absent from school due to the Coronavirus situation, Thomas’s London Day Schools have decided to move to remote learning from Friday 20 March. From this date the curriculum will be taught through online learning platforms and we have asked parents to keep their children at home and to access their lessons through this system.

"This will ensure that children have continuity of learning when they are unable to attend school.”
