CLUE
You probably recognized Mark Knopfler but the problem is it is hard to find his _very first_ school because it is very rarely mentioned.
Wikipedia mentions another one although he actually started elementary school here in Glasgow according to his own account in a documentary from which I took the screenshot showing him standing in front of the school.
(Hard to find on Youtube because the title is not related to Mark's childhood at all) This one is just 4 miles or a 12 minute drive from the school mentioned in Wikipedia.

comments 1) i did not recognize him, sigh... For me, this was an easy one. I love Dire Straits and MK, so I found his elementary school very easy. UK Wiki was enough  |
