Done to death I’m sure!

I have two boys going up to senior school next year - hopefully they’ll be getting into the closest school which is about a 20 minute walk.

I will likely get them a phone before then - their birthday is Jan so was thinking I could get them for birthday gifts and they can start walking to and from school as practice (in reality they’ll be followed by husband and little brother!)

I guess I’m asking if this is a decent idea or not (parental controls will of course go on and will monitor usage closely) and if you have, what phones did you get? Tesco seem to have some decent phones for about £60, but unsure if they’ll be crucified if I get them those!
