Earliest LHR to SFO option?

i need to come back from London to SFO in June, and I need to arrive in time to pick up my kid, who will be with a group on LH 454 from Frankfurt landing at 12:55pm.

One option is is to take a 6:30 flight to Frankfurt and connect onto the same LH flight, but it's about a 1 hour connection which is tight, and if I miss it I'm way behind.

Another option i see see would be taking United 900 LHR to SFO, which lands at 1:30, and count on a J seat and global entry letting me make up the time on the kid's back of the bus large group. The risk is her having to wait for a few minutes outside customs, but at 15 she can handle that, and the risk of a catastrophic "I'm multiple hours behind her" seems less.

Or or I could just come back a day earlier from London, but even with the latest departure to SFO I'd still have to head to LHR by noon-ish.


Any thoughts? Any options I missed ?

thx
bob
