3.2 miles for me, so there was a bus. It was pretty crap (15-year-old buses, often late from being stuck in traffic, overcrowded, lots of anti-social behaviour), so I cycled as soon as I was allowed, which wasn't immediately as there was 1.1 miles of trunk A road on the quickest route and two A road crossings on any route.Walked or cycled. Just checked and secondary school was 1.1 miles away. Perfect for walking or cycling distance as a kid. Any kid less than 3 miles away walked it cycled beyond that you qualified for the bus.
I don't remember being driven in by a parent but it might have happened. I almost certainly was driven by a friend at some point in my last year or two. I don't think I liked it much because I was then reliant on them for getting back (or it was an hour's walk) and couldn't easily go to a shop or visit family on the way home.
