I had provisional agreement to change ds' pick up time from 7:35 to 7:50am. Not great but better.

His school day starts at 8:45am and he is 7. He gets back at 4:10.
We live 3 miles away from the school.

They just called to say that they are almalgamating two taxis to one minibus and ds' pick up time will now be 7:20 and drop off at 4:30.

He had been complaining that the journey was too long already which is why we got it changed. This also prevents him from attending NT after school clubs.

I don't drive and have a school run with other children to do.

What can I do?

This is statutory guidance issued by the government. The LA must follow it unless it can demonstrate that there is a good reason not to. The fact that they want to save money is not a good reason, especially when it is harming your child's health and education.

Quick update to say that after a bit of a ruck, the problem has now resolved.

Thanks all. And thanks to my LA who were more ignorant and confused than downright evil.

That's wonderful news, Star! Can you give details, or do you need to be discreet?
