Reading the articles I have posted on this Forum, it looks like Elinor was at St Helens 1921, she went on her Austrian Holiday 1922 returning to St Helens, before moving onto Weston House School middle to late 1923. She then moved on to Moreton House School 1924
There does seem to be a conflict of information as Helen McClelland says that

It was already known that Brent-Dyer had been issued with a passport on 4th July 1922, but, until [this article was discovered], there had been no formal documentation which confirmed 1922 as the date of her visit to the Tyrol which inspired the creation of the 'Chalet School' series." Her first book in the "Chalet School" series was published in 1923.
Although this raises doubts also as the first Chalet School book was 'The School at the Chalet' Published in 1925
No criticism, but just observations
