London, April 6 -- David and Victoria Beckham's plans to send their children to esteemed private school Haberdashers' Aske's has upset some ex-pupils, who claim the celebrity couple aren't their sort of people.
One even criticised them for being 'working class' and said their sons could 'get by with poor grades like the Royal Family'.
The comments have been made on the popular internet site Mumsnet, the website set up by mothers to give advice on parenting and family issues, reports the Daily Mail.
One former Haberdashers' pupil, calling herself crazygracieuk, wrote: 'David and Victoria are working class. Victoria has mentioned in interviews that she never reads books so it would be surprising if someone like her had high academic goals for her dc [darling children] when they could easily get by with poor grades like the Royal Family.'
Potential pupils have to take an exam and some writers insisted the Beckham children would not be given carte blanche into the school without passing it.
One, called sardine, wrote: 'Habs is not a school which is particularly open to parents buying their way in.'
Last night a friend of Mrs Beckham said they had not yet chosen a school for the boys.
Dr Peter Spence, director of external relations at Haberdashers', said: 'We do not comment on the names of pupils, parents or potential pupils and parents.'
