Secondary school parents

[sparkypigeon]

I've been thinking about my hours at work as a few days a week I finish work after 5.

Currently DS is Y4 and attends after school club. When he starts secondary school in year 6, would you say the average year 6 would be able to cope with walking home from school and being home alone until around 5:45pm?

It's fine. My year 7 has a lot of after school activities so often isn't finished until 6 either.
