How far did you live from your primary school?

Just for fun thread

I lived around the corner so a 5 minute walk.

School 1 - 10 minutes in car
School 2 - 15 minutes walk
School 3 - 2 minutes walk
School 4 - 10 minutes in car, then we moved to 15 minutes walk away
School 5 - 50 minutes on bus

15 mins walk then 3 tube stops with a change.

Then 30 mins in car

Then 1 mile/15 mins walk/5-10 mins bike ride

We moved a bit.

I just looked it up and we lived 5.2 miles from my primary school.

My dc now live 5.4 miles from theirs

I was a 5-10 minutes walk.

DDs so far...
1)15 min walk or 5 minutes by bike
2) 5 minute walk then 20 minutes in school bus (it was 3 miles direct line)
3) 15 minutes drive. Not sure on walking, we live on a massive hill outside town.

It was at the bottom of my garden through the hole in the fence.

Twenty minutes drive - not accessible by walking/cycling/public transport as it was on NSL country lanes.

Same with all my other schools.

10-15 walk. From year 4 I used to walk with friends and there was a lollipop man to cross us over the road outside the school grounds.

0.5 miles I checked on google.

Just checked on google - it was 0.8 mile and says 17 mins to walk but pretty sure we used to give ourselves about 30 mins to do it.
My kids are lucky - its 0.3 miles and 6 mins walk...

Google maps tells me a 7 minute walk away, and we always walked. Lovely little village primary school, most of my friends walked as well, only one or two got driven.

About a mile and a half from secondary school so a half hour walk. I got the school bus there, then either school bus, public bus or walked home.

Sixth form was about 9 miles away, I got the school bus which took an hour because of a circular route and rush hour traffic

It's 1.3 miles but the walk is absolutely brutal. My 4 year old can't even manage half of it.

About a half mile, so 10/15 minutes.

Secondary was pretty much the same.

2.4 miles

0.9 miles and we had a school bus. I wonder if they still do.
My children are 2 miles from theirs and we drive them.

I reckon it took around half an hour to 40 minutes to walk, and it felt like a really long way (mainly because it was uphill!), though often DM would take us in the car on her way to work.
I've just checked Google maps and it was actually a shorter journey than it is to dc school now, which we walk in about 15 minutes

If we had taken the one we would have been give - 3 miles so 1 hour walk (or 45 min drive due to rush hour traffice). qe have 6 primary schools within 1 mile, but they all have an intake of 500m and below, due to people renting for a year and then moving miles away

We were driven but I think it was about 3 miles. Parents faked religion to get us into a feeder school to avoid the local comp in special measures.

About a 15-min walk, which I did on my own from about age 7.

20 minutes walk up a steep hill. Then we moved to 3 doors away.

Mine was a 10 minute walk. DCs was exactly a mile door to door. Always walked unless I was driving back from somewhere at
I know time. Their secondary schools were each a mile away too and they always walked then too.

I used to leave the house at 8.45am and the bell went at 8.55am, I was always on time and had a chance to play with friends before lining up. Journey home was all uphill so took longer.
DD went to the same primary school as I did and we lived a little closer but she was driven to school as I went straight on to work after dropping her off. She had the same walk home as me though because she went to her grandparents home after school.

20 min walk for me to primary and secondary.
Dd was about the same but just moved so now less than 10 mins

I lived a 5min walk away. And walked on my own from the second day aged five.

DC were a 3min walk, but across a busy road, so didn't go alone till 9/10.
