Is a 30 minute morning drive too long to primary school?

Looking at primary schools for DC start start next year and we really don’t have any great options close by. Theres an outstanding school 6 miles away that has a large catchment area but with morning traffic will be around a 30 minute drive. Afternoon collection only 15 minutes as no traffic then. DH will be doing morning drop off as it’s on his way to work and I’ll do afternoon collection. Just wondering if that’s too long morning journey for DC?

I think it’s fine. But it’s not uncommon in my DCs school.
