We came back to the same school, which was Our Lady and St Philip Neri. I kept in touch with the head teacher by email while we were away. I'm sure you could contact the heads of schools you are interested in by email. Applying for places in year groups other than reception can be handled directly by the school and there is no reason why you can't get in touch with them now.

Settling back in took a few weeks, but was easier than settling in to the States. Good to be back in familiar surroundings, but like any big upheavals, it takes a while to settle back. There are still things I miss about the States but we are very glad to be home!
