How far did you live from your primary school?

Just for fun thread

I lived around the corner so a 5 minute walk.

About an hour walk. The other end of the village. Most people walked.

About an 8 minute walk if you walked slow which I pretty much always did. My kids live a 3 minute walk from their primary school.

Half a mile. alone I can walk it in 10 minutes...with children half an hour on way there, 5 minutes running home...

I just google mapped it and it said 0.7miles and a 14 minute walk. I used to walk it 4 times a day as I went home at lunchtime.

DDs primary school is 0.2 miles and a 5 minute walk.

Two stops on the Tube.

10 minutes walk up a breezy hill

Idyllic really

We moved, so mine varied.

My DC walked 1.25 miles each way, unless we had clubs or it was really pissing down.

My primary school was about a five minute walk away. I used to walk in the wrong direction to call for a friend, then we’d go and pick up another friend so it could take up to twenty minutes to actually get to school.

DD’s was a mile and half away and I didn’t have a car until she was in y5. It was also entirely up hill on the way back. That walk got old very quickly, especially in bad weather.

4 hour flight (army brat at boarding school!).

2 miles - kids get the bus.

2 miles away.

5 minute walk

30 second walk for me. The school was literally just across the road

The 5 minute walk is for dd. Mine was 30 seconds

you've prompted me to take a trip down memory lane on Google maps. So much the same! Though the outside toilets have been knocked down, and the conker trees have been felled :( the village shop seems to have been made into houses. But I can still see the opening of the path where we used to go on "nature walks". I loved my little school :-) Thank you for reminding me!

About a 15 minute walk.

I had an hours walk and bike ride in North Yorkshire. The cold and dark winter nights left the biggest impression on me.

200m. Only had to walk through a play park

We lived over a main road, up a hill and down another hill away fromm school. The walk took about half an hour (though that might've been us walking slowly and taking ages). There was a big gang of us as we'd collect each other along the way, almost like a walking school bus.

Literally next door. My mum used to just stand on our step and watch me walk in rather than take me there because we were so close!

About a mile. We usually walked. The bus cost 2d (1p).

A 60 second walk as I grew up in a small village, High school was 40 mins away by bus so it evened out in terms of hassle over the years.

Across road to bus stop, 10 to 15 mins on bus, 10 min walk up hill. All on my own, my mother never took me; my brother was a baby and prams were too big to go on a bus in those days.
