The bottom of our road. Ironically when we lived in south London my son was sent to a school 3 miles away due to the area being oversubscribed and ridiculously small catchment areas.

I’m really shitting myself.. doing school runs with a four year old and a new born soon.. I guess gotto be done but nervous 😩
Do you have a partner? Could they do the school run? My husband does all the drop offs and we share the pick ups.
10-15 min walk
Try to practice with your toddler, let them become familiar with the route and walking pace. I have heard of schools that can offer help picking up children to ensure they get to school. But I am not sure how to qualify for it. You could ask about additional support if needed. Otherwise, could you get help from someone else? Your partner, family a neighbour?
Also if anything, it'll be easier to have a pram with you as you can put a buggy board on. At least with my eldest that's easier than trying to make him walk!
Mine wants to scooter. He has seen a lot of children arrive with scooters and wants to do the same. We are practicing that, too.

Aww, you will surprise yourself! Will you be waking or driving? I can drive but actually find it easier to walk, once baby is wrapped up in pram she is fine but the getting in and out of car is a bit of a faff. If 4 yo can scooter, might make it easier for you to get him used to doing that. Makes it quicker anyway!
30 min walk, 5 min drive
10-15 min walk depending on how slow she feels like walking 😂 like a 2 min drive
Walking distance about 10 minutes at most
Walking distance, but I am London so I have lots to choose from
