DS got admission in St.Bernards. Would like to know if there is any existing Transport options available from Reading/Tilehurst/Earley areas. Happy to join if anyone planning to set up a new pool for the Sep 2018. Kindly let me know.

Our DD has been offered a place in Upton Court Grammar School. We live in Taplow. Driving from Taplow to the school takes around 20-30 minutes via Eton (less traffic and signals). Train is the best option (6 minutes) but my wife is worried to leave our DD on her own in first year at least. But I am sure that there will be many children coming from Taplow, Maidenhead, Twyford and Reading and taking train every day and then bus or walk from Slough station. Any suggestion from the parents would be helpful.

There is always this concern when your child is still at primary school. You will find that they grow up so much in the next 6 months. You have plenty of time to practice the journey between now & then, and I'm sure there will be lots of students travelling. Personally I travelled on the London Underground to school from the age of 9 to 11. I travelled with an older neighbour for 2 days & then found a buddy of my own age.

Completely agree with SM. Your ‘little’ year 6 will look to be way too small for secondary right now, but trust us, they will be fine. They soon take it in their stride. Best thing to do is a few practice runs over the summer, and discuss the ‘what ifs’ that might happen and how to deal with them. Within a week or two of starting , you will wonder why you were so worried.
