My child starts secondary from September and we are considering to open bank account for him.

Do you know the best bank account for 11 years old? I would like to get him a debit card for shopping in this circumstance. Also, it would be good if both of child and parent can use app to monitor the bank statement.

Choose the bank which u have a current account with. It makes it so much easier to open and help control as u already bank with them.

You didn't used to need a parent with an account because I don't have one with them.

Yes, Santander 123 mini - but I think the parent may have to have a Santander account to qualify.
