Info on travel Solihull to Handsworth

[simple114]

Hi,
My DD has been offered a place at KE Handsworth Girls.
We live in Solihull. I find the distance too much but unfortunately she is in waiting for the nearest grammar school.
I am looking for info from parents in Solihull on travel times and their children's experiences- if they are adjusting well or are they getting too tired.
It is a long term thing so I am worried. My next option would be a local independent non-assisted or a well known, over-subscribed academy locally.
We are having a hard time coming to a decision.
Any insight or views on the above would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
