Hopefully this is helpful... Once kids turn 11 and enter secondary school, the norm is very much to travel unaccompanied to school. Most boys at that age would be horrified at the thought of being escorted to and from. And sure, lots of kids live near to their school, but there are many who will have longer and more complex journeys, and do them every day without too many dramas.


How much will really change developmentally between the age of 10 & 11? A bit for sure, but if you could be confident of an 11 yr old doing it, maybe it's not so much of a stretch for a bright and capable 10 yr old. Especially if there is an option for a bit of a soft-landing/bedding in to the process.


And what are the alternatives? He is (will be)Y6 so he could stay at his current primary or is that not an option?

I'm guessing you are thinking that either your ex escorts him which is a massive chunk of time, and possibly not feasible; or you review your co-parenting situation (at least temporarily) - how much upset would the cause?

    • William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
