9 year old boy won't go in to school

I have a 9 year old DS who refuses to go into school. He is ok once he's in but says everyday that he hates school, it's boring. I have read one of the info pages on this site about this and he doesn't fit into any of the categories. It's not separation anxiety, bullying, educationally he's smart but not a genius (hence bored). He is excited by learning in other ways, he codes, does My Maths happily, reads avidly. He won't go in and stay in. He runs out/sneaks out/tries to climb out at drop off time but will be 'fine' for the rest of the day. Any suggestions welcome.

MilkRunningOutAgain some of that sounds familiar. I suspect he might be less bored at secondary.
