A new documentary will lift the lid on a private school in Moray once famously called “Colditz with kilts” by former pupil Prince Charles.
Gordonstoun School has opened its gates to allow Sky TV crews unprecedented access to the celebrated institution.
The boarding school, which was founded in 1934, counts among its alumni Prince Philip and his three sons, Charles, Andrew and Edward.
Rock star David Bowie also sent his son here as did former James Bond star, Sean Connery.
The first episode of the six-part series – which is produced by the teamresponsible for Harrow: A Very British School – is due to be aired on Sky One next week.
One of the stars of the series is 15-year-old is Ben Parker, whose family live in Oman as his father works in the oil industry.
The show follows Ben as he prepares to join the school band for a live performance in front of an audience, which includes the Duke of Edinburgh.
He said: “You don’t get many spare minutes here, because you are so busy, which is why it was so hard for me to get the music right.”
Gordonstoun: A Different Class starts on Friday, at 8pm.
