Have you spoken to the school? I've been reading lots of articles where there appears to be some leeway with regards students and exams.

So far it has cost us about £1000. :( I'll also have to take unpaid leave as I won't have enough leave available to cover these 4 extra days before we move to Oz. |

Or the man who operates the airbridge! I once had to wait over half an hour at LHR from a very early landing first thing in the morning whilst they found someone to let us off the plane! Oh the joys of Heathrow........... |
