bedwetting triggered by school?

My dd stopped wearing night nappies last June at 3.5yrs, and bar a few accidents was pretty reliably dry at nights. She started nursery school in September and immediately started wetting the bed at night - multiple times, significantly wet, and was seemingly unaware of it happening. So after a few weeks, she decided to put her night nappies back on, and has stayed in them until last week when she decided it was time to try again. Pretty much dry for a week, no problem, until she went back to school after the holidays - and again immediately she is soaking the bed again. It seems there must be a link but we have no idea what to do. I'm very happy for her to wear her nappies for as long as she wants to / needs to, but it's very frustrating that we know she can be dry at night and we don't know what is is about school that's setting it off each time. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions?
Thanks!

Is she sleeping more soundly after school?

well, that's what we thought it was the first time round, that she was just so exhausted getting used to school that she couldn't wake up. But after weeks, when she really should have been getting used to the routine and it was still happening, I don't know. She is a fairly deep sleeper anyway. She's very happy at school, and settled in well, so I don't think it's an anxiety issue.
