I am in the same situation. I have started letting my 7yr old walk into the gate aswell. He is usually with his 10yr old sister, but if she was off i would still let him do it. I wouldnt let him cross a road on his own though or walk to school the full distance alone.

I don't think the school would be justified in issueing such a letter to us, as at the end of the day they just open the doors and the kids could walk off in any direction with anyone, the teachers wouldnt have a clue.
