Although the Blairs stated that they had wished to shield their
children
from the media,
Euan and Nicky's education was a cause of political
controversy.
They both attended the Catholic London Oratory School,
criticised by left-wingers for its selection procedures,
instead of a poorly-performing Catholic school
in Labour-controlled Islington,
where they then lived, in Richmond Avenue.
There was further criticism
when it was revealed that Euan received private coaching
from staff from Westminster School.
