As a teacher, I know how bad the school situation is over here - our school is going to rapidly increase in size for September, and most of our classes are already full to capacity even with that!

RP shouldn't be a problem, because as the previous user said they do understand. 

All I would advise is keep trying - and good luck!!

PS I don't think you would get your kids in anywhere firmly without them being here - could they come out just for a week or something??
