I am about to apply for high school for DS1 this month. We live in Harrow and the nearest state high school is very good,for which I am grateful. However, I am considering applying to a partially selective school (Parmiters) which involves a 1 hour journey by school bus or to the London Oratory (myself and the children are practicing Catholics) which is a 25 minute journey on Southern trains (preceded by a 25 minute walk to the station) or about an hour on the tube.
I am having a heated internal debate about the benefits of the schools versus the disadvantages of adding two hours travel time to my son's day, and I am beginning to lose all perspective...! Does anyone have children currently spending a significant time travelling to and from school? If so, can you tell me how they find it (fitting in after school activities and homework etc)?
