Julie

don't forget to get him a zip card as well, they are the new oyster card for under 16's. From 1st June all 11 - 16 must produce one to get on bus free. It will be compulsary after june. All you need is the form from post office plus photo and a form of ID. They used to cost a fiver but are now free.
I know you said he'll go by bike, but might be best to get one in case he fancies going on the bus when it's cold and wet!!

Julie, glad to hear the good news and even though he may not be thrilled now by the end of his first term he'll be loving it so much...the other school will already be beneath him ;-) I'm sure he'll do very well and if the school put on a good show for perspective pupils it says a lot... I doubt that many bother.

Pat im really pleased for yous xx


Shelli, he can walk to that one lol...I suppose if it raining i could drive him there you know what this road is like, i'll need to go round the back way

Out of the 3 we saw they were the only one that did,

You cruel mother, I never walked always went on bus and my school was only tiny bit further. Just thought I'd mention just in case.

Shelli..you'll have to remind me nearer the time about the zip card, i will no doubt forget lol

We always walked to school, even on the days when the weather was awful. Mum learnt to drive when I was 15 and so she would very occasionally pick me up from school. But it was a rarity.

My nephew and niece go to a school that's a five minute walk down their street, my sis in law drives them everyday, to the point that she leaves half an hour early in the afternoon to make sure she gets a parking spot! Thus wasting at least 20 minutes sitting in her car...it's ok though, as she uses the time constructively by playing on her DS.

no worries Julie, have just applied for twins cards, as they travel home on the bus. Didn't get one when they started as back then it was only compulsary for 14 & 15 yr olds, also it cost a fiver then. was going to wait until they started getting questioned about their age. But this new rule has meant we've had to get them, but at least now they're free!!

How sad am i lol..just been looking at the uniform
