Depp Seeks 'Normal' Life For Children at Private School

Hollywood heart-throb Johnny Depp is reported to be looking at private schools in England for his two children Lily-Rose, 10, and Jack, 7.

The 46-year-old star of Public Enemies and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is said to have purchased a mansion in Bath, after recently revealing his desire to secure a more normal life for his children.

"We haven't actually seen or heard from him ourselves of course, you understand," said Mr Nigel Farquhar JP, a mortar-boarded headmaster in a black gown. "I'm told he's contacted one or two of our less highly-regarded competitors, so no doubt he's working his way through the list."

If Mr Depp's children are enrolled in an exclusive private school, they can expect their education to feature such everyday British schoolday experiences as boarding, corporal punishment, fagging, sporting activities on an onsite playing field, a cadet force, intense academic pressure to pass the International Baccalaureat, a fast-track route to Oxbridge and a highly over-inflated sense of their own worth.

"And a splendid receipt every term for our five-figure fees, payable in advance," added Mr Farquhar. "Suitable for framing."
