Paloma had a very different experience at school, which has since been renamed the City of London Academy Islington.
She said: ‘I had a really amazing experience. People were always criticising it but the teachers were just so brilliant.
‘It was really creative, with really great art, music and dance departments. I really enjoyed it.’
MailOnline has contacted a representative of Paloma Faith for comment.
While Natalie may have had bad experiences during her school days, the future is looking bright for the soap star.
The actress could reportedly be set to ‘make millions’ following her EastEnders exit as an expert predicts she could be lined up for several projects.
The soap actress, 41, who has played the role of Sonia Fowler since she was 10 years old, will exit as part of the show’s 40th-anniversary celebrations and insiders have billed her as the ‘next Stacey Solomon‘.
Brand expert Nick Ede told The Sun that Natalie’s income is set to skyrocket as he revealed exactly how Natalie, who recently competed as Bush in The Masked Singer, can make this her most successful move following her departure.

Paloma had a very different experience at school, saying her time there was ‘amazing’
He said: ‘Obviously EastEnders gives a really good salary and shows like Strictly, which she did in 2009, pay very well.
‘But away from the BBC she can now do endorsement deals and commercial deals – she can utilise her following on social media to promote stuff.
‘I know she’s going to be hosting a couple of documentaries for Channel 4, which is quite interesting because people like her.’
And he concluded that she will become ‘more famous’ and ‘make a couple more millions’ as said she could take on I’m A Celeb next because she has already competed on Strictly.
In her first interview since announcing the news, Natalie explained that turning 42 this year made her feel it was time to ‘be brave’ and explore new opportunities.

She told The Sun: ‘I’m 42 this year, I just feel like it’s time to be brave. You don’t want to get to 70 and think, ‘I never tried that’.’
Natalie also expressed her deep love for the show, saying: ‘I’ve loved this programme with all my heart. I started at ten, it’s in my bones, it’s in my heart.’
The decision to leave came after a heart-to-heart with EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw six months ago.
The star said: ‘I’d been thinking about it for a little while. I had a wonderful chat with Chris back in the summer. It’s just exciting.’
