Do you live within walking distance of Eltham High Street? (Or is there a regular bus that takes you there such as the 161 from Mottingham) Quite a few children catch the 132 from Eltham High Street to the corner of Blackfen Road/Westwood Lane. This is about a 10 min journey. The walk from there up Westwood Lane and then down Wendover Way to Bexley Grammar is 10 min max. Many children do this walk as well to catch the 51 at the end of Wendover so your DC won't be alone!
By the way, my DS has just started at Bexley Grammar and is absolutely loving it!
Not walking distance but that sounds doable as all the busses go to eltham
High street or could walk if he was feeling it or others were going the same way. really makes me feel better to hearvthere are many children doing the same journey. I might do the journey tomorrow with all the school kids and my ds just to see. We are still trying to move for a bigger house to Eltham/new eltham so it feels wrong not to go for the one we liked best, but ds got it in his head he'd love the train for 2 stops for chis and sid.
