I know there will be lots of different things! What I'm trying to get a handle on is the amount that they do on their own, and at what age. We are considering sending our DS to an independent school 5 miles away in a neighbouring borough of the city (not London). There is a school bus, but public transport is next to non-existent and I am pretty sure I would need to collect him if he had after-school activities. Obviously the friends that he makes will be mainly local to the school, not that many go from our area, and my concern is that it will be hard for him to meet schoolfriends independently after school and at weekends.
How much do you think this will matter, oh wise mumsnetters who are there before me?
