Miles and time wise please

Trying to work out if a potential school is too far.

Just under half hour walk but I'm not sure how far in miles it is

40 - 50 mins each way about 20+ miles. all at secondary school now.
at infants/junior it was 25 mins each way and about 13 miles.

6 miles and school coach takes between 25 mins and 65 mins ... Usually around 30.

It's two buses.

AndNowItsSeven · 08/06/2016 13:04

6 miles takes 45 minutes on a bus.

We've been through a few different schools between the kids, so:

Two miles (15 mins on slow school bus, crossing horrible dual carriageway so no chance of walking)
Five miles (10 mins in car, 30 by bike)
17 miles (20 mins by SEN taxi)
and currently
10 miles (30 mins by regular bus, considerably longer by car)

They just seem to shrug and get on with it, on the whole.

About 22 miles. 50 minutes.

2 miles, scoots, cycles walks weather permitting, I drive if it's fowl. Two very very busy roads, no direct bus and traffic is hell.

Mines not there yet but it will be a 10 minute walk. less than a mile away.

Friends DC spends 15mins on the bus but it is during rush hour and its roughly 3 miles. Bus stop is right outside the school.

My sibling is driven across the city. takes about half hour during rush hour and is 7 miles.

When I was a kid It used to take me half hour and that inc walking a fair distance to the bus stops to get home. Took a good 45minutes if I had to walk. it was 2 miles away.

Under a mile and 15 minutes walk.
A short journey that DS could make under his own steam was a huge contributory factor in the school choice (i.e. we decided not to go for grammar in neighbouring county which would have meant an hour's journey). The extra time and energy this gives DS is a huge deal!
