Hi, my daughter is starting at a grammar school located 10 miles away from our home. Only a very few children travel from our area to the school. My daughter is the only pupil from her primary school going to the grammar school. She will be getting the designated school bus. I am now feeling concerned about the social isolation issue. Can I ask if any other parent's children have found it difficult makjng friends or maintaining a 'best freind' relationship due to the distance? Thank you.

Our DDs attend a grammar about 8 miles away. Because they didn't go to the primary in our village, they didn't know any of the other village girls catching the bus to the grammar school.
But, they soon made friends with all the girls on the bus, which is nice because up until then they hadn't had any friends in our village.
Catching the school bus is now the highlight of their day, there's much hilarity and eating of sweets, I understand
