Walking to secondary school

Our schools start back tomorrow and the mums I know have arranged to transport children to the secondary school in cars.

Mine will be walking- he walked on the trial day in June most of the way and was fine. However he won't have anyone to walk with him as the others all seem to be lift sharing.

I'm feeling an odd guilt about this and having last thoughts about possibly going with him, but he assures me he'll be fine. It's about a mile each way through a town centre which is mainly pedestrianised and has good crossings in place for the busy roads. On the trial day he texted me when he was there to let me know. He's also been into town himself through the summer himself to built up his independence.

AIBU? Shouldn't children, at secondary age, be walking to school?
