Is he going to the main site in TW or the Sevenoaks site?

My understanding is that its TW. Apparently not the cheapest but it does drop right into the school.

Yes its Tunbridge well.

Really the train will be quicker, give him more independence and allow him to take part in after school clubs. It may seem hard thinking of them making these journeys on their own but it isn’t unusual for children this age to be travel independently and you get some practice in now before the start of term. .

There will be plenty of other boys for TWGSB on the train too

Can someone with a son at TWGSB describe which way they walk from High Brooms station to the school. It took us a good 20 mins via Highfield Road and Powder Mill Lane, so am wondering which route boys take which is only 10-15 mins! Thanks.

Its probably 17 mins roughly for children.

- When you come out the station walk straight upto or in order to use the zebra crossing.
- Take second right down Holmewood road.
- Take left corner at top of Holmewood road and walk across small park area on paved walk way
- walk on paved walkway past new houses
- take right on Montgomery road (walk round the bend)
- take right again into Cunningham road
- at end of Cunningham road you take a left into Powder Mill Lane and walk down.

Its probably 15mins for an adult.

To be honest I reckon this walk which most kids do will probably be similar to the walk you described on Highfield road. As I know some boys go to school via 'McColl's'.
