Madonna 'pulls daughter out of school'

Madonna has reportedly removed her daughter Lourdes from her exclusive London school - fuelling rumours she is planning to move the children back to the US following her divorce from Guy Ritchie.

The couple announced their separation last month and are currently in the middle of legal proceedings to make their break-up official.

The star is rumoured to be planning to leave the family home in England and return to New York, taking Lourdes, 12, her daughter from a previous relationship, eight-year-old Rocco and the couple's adopted tot David Banda, three, with her.

And now the pop superstar is said to be making the move official - she pulled Lourdes out of the Lycee Francais Charles de Gaulle School in London's South Kensington last week, according to The London Paper.

Madonna previously stated her intention to send the youngster to one of the UK's most prestigious all-girl schools - Cheltenham Ladies' College - after enlisting her there when she was two.

But the star is now reportedly scouting for a new educational institution in the US.
