How close is your nearest secondary school?

[WonderingAndOverthinking]

Not the one you want to send your child to, just the nearest one to your house?

2.5 miles. It's rural with no safe passage by foot so is eligible for free transport.

2 within a mile. Live in suburbs of a city

3 miles. But interestingly our catchment school is 12 miles away.

A two minute walk at most.

We have three about a mile away, 0.8 miles, 1 mile and 1.1 mile, apparently. They're all pretty decent too.

17 minute drive away

0.5 miles, 12 minute walk

1 mile or less. Mine go to the one 3 miles away instead.

According to Google its 0.42 miles away 😅

It is very very close, i could get there in about 10 minutes, my DD sets off to school 15 minutes before it starts and gets there on time ( and she goes to the shop everyday beforehand )

About 1.5 miles away. Absolutely no chance DS will be going there or indeed to any of his catchment schools.

5 miles

As crow flies, it’s a mile. 1.9 miles to walk/drive.

2.8 miles

0.8 miles as the crow flies, 1.1 miles by the most direct possible walking route (1.8 miles by the shortest legal motorised vehicle route due to one-way system, so actually quicker to walk)

Training for the pole vault Olympic Event before school might have come in handy?

It was a 5 min walk.
Dc went to one a 10-15 min walk
And there was another 15-20 min walk.

Made life so easy.

London

15 minute walk (as opposed to any others which are a half hour drive). The closest one meant we needed a very good reason NOT to send our DC there.

19.5 miles one way 19 miles the other, there's a school bus to both

1.5 miles, but no chance of getting in as its catholic. Means there are council financed busses from miles away to the catholic school, and other council financed busses going to the CoE school (no religious admissions criteria). massive waste of money.

Just under a mile.

1.6 miles, though my DC go to one about 4 miles away

Just to add, i’m talking about 10 council financed busses in morning and the same in the evening everyday to cater to catholic vs CoR school….. insane if you know what coaches cost

Why so rude?

Private - 0.5 miles (10 min walk)
State - 1.7 miles (35 min walk)

We're in London too. It's not at all like that in this bit!
