Elton John is planning to send son Zachery to prep school that trains choirboys, it has been reported.

The singer, whose son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born on Christmas Day 2010 via a surrogate, will be attending the £18,000 a year St George's School, reports The Sun.

A source said: "It was no surprise when Sir Elton said his first choice of school for Zachary was the royal choir school here."

"It has an incredible music department and staff. All the children play an instrument from the age of about seven - and the piano is the favourite."

Meanwhile, Elton John appears to have suggested that he is in line to be one of the first to receive the new iPad 2.
