To know he’s arrived for one, but the more he’s ok walking to school the more we feel easier about letting him to the park with friends etc.

Does he have a phone? DD walked to school at that age and we gave her a phone that had life360 on. I imagine an air tag type tracker would be enough

Is it on a busy route with other kids and parents walking to school? If so, unless you think he’s liable to run off and not actually turn up at school, then he should be fine.
