Yes as I understand it things weren't so good when Mrs Bolton left - for the teaching staff anyway. I know that my friend who teaches there was going to leave last year but is happy to stay now that she's back.
On a different note, something that might not effect any of you or maybe not for some years...university! Our son is still just over 3 years away from that but if you're out of the UK for a number of years you're no longer classed as resident and would have to pay uni fees as an overseas student. This comes in at between £9K and £18k a year!! If you're back in the UK for the three years before the start of university you should be okay but it's not at all straightforward.
