DS is obviously taking it all in his stride and I am quietly fretting investigating the practicalities of high school life. Anyone want to join me?

We have our PFB off to secondary school in September. She's quite worried so I'm being very, very calm about it.
We've had a new parents evening and an interview with the deputy head already, then an induction afternoon and a Saturday new parents social evening in July.
I'm planning to leave buying most of the uniform until a couple of weeks before school starts. Is this a bad idea?
Also DD1 will have a bit of a commute to school on public transport ( 1-2 buses, then a train). How many times would you do a run through of her route before school starts?

What kind of things do you want to know?

Hello Smile
Anyone else?

Have you had any info from the school yet? We have an individual meeting in a couple of weeks time, then an evening event, which DS can't make as his Yr 6 trip is that week. He has a 'new intake day' in July. I don't really know anyone whose DC attend this school so it's all very new. How about you?
