Claim a tax refund

I worked in the UK between October 2010 and October 2011. I have been postponing claiming tax return for those years because, if I remember correctly, at some point I found out I had time to do this till 2016.

However, now when I go here: http://stccalculator.hmrc.gov.uk/UserDetails.aspx I can't get any earlier than 2012/2013 tax year, while - if I understand correctly, I need 2010/2011 and 2011/2012.

Have I missed it completely and the chance for refund is gone, or is there some other procedure for those years?

    The time limit for claiming a tax refund is four years from the end of the tax year for which you overpaid tax.

    So 2012/13 is the earliest year you can now claim.
