Brought to mind by another school related thread.
My DS is going into Year 7 in September. The secondary school is a four minute walk away, across a residential area that we back onto. No main roads and though the residential bit gets busy at pick up/drop off it is always full of children/adults walking at these times.
DS will be walking to/from school of course, but I don't finish work until 4pm, arriving home around 4.20/4.30 depending on traffic. He's very sensible and I've been thinking if it would be okay from him to let himself into the house after school until I get home?
He'd be 11 nearly 12 at the start of the school year. My sister thinks it's too young an age to be home for near enough an hour alone?
