My, soon to be, EW is intent on cutting me out of decisions etc relating to our 5 year old, moving him away, moving his school, won’t even tell me her new address, getting very frustrating and does little to help enabling me to see my son

See a solicitor, get advice and apply to court for a prohibited steps order to stop her. The remedy is in your hands.

You do red to know s address, just the handover point.

If your XP is frustrat No contact, and mediation has failed or is not possible, then you will need to get a court order.

I disagree that you don't need to know the address. Unless there are abuse / dv issues it's not unreasonable that you should know your child's home address but yes, you must get advice and proceed through family court. You don't need representation throughout.. Its quite normal to self rep these days and there is lots of guidance online. Don't just shrug and say you were stopped from seeing your DD.. Unless there are good genuine reasons, you will be awarded contact of some sort.

I have contact but it is all on her terms and i’m travelling almost 150miles 3 times a week to see my son. I just find it frustrating there is no co-operation, no consideration

Arghhhhhh this is SO frustrating. GO TO COURT !!!! NOTHING will happen whilst you wring your hands and complain. You HAVE to be proactive. Do you have PR ? You will if you were married to the mother when the child was born.
Fill in form c100 and apply for contact via the court , that is fair. So that your child has an equal right to a relationship with both parents.

Education and health matters require the consent of both parents.
Moving 150 miles away means she has left school to go to another without your permission.

Get off the back foot.
Get reading.
Don't do nothing.
