This area covers disputes connected with state and academy schools in England, including issues such as school admissions, exclusions, special educational needs provision, and governance or academy closures. A solicitor in this field drafts and challenges school policies, prepares and prosecutes or resists appeals to the appeals processes, and represents clients in education tribunals and related proceedings. The work is shaped by national education legislation, policy guidance, and the duties of local authorities and schools toward pupils and families.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Solicitors handle admissions appeals, exclusions challenges, and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) matters, including SEND appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability). They draft representations to authorities, prepare court- or tribunal-ready bundles, negotiate with schools or local authorities, and advise on governance issues in academy or maintained school settings. The process involves navigating statutory duties, court and tribunal procedures, and the interplay between education policy and individual rights.

Kate Green

Tagged solicitor Kate Green

A pleasant company to have work on our sale. The valuation for probate was done quickly and professionally. The subsequent sale process was handled well by Kate. Sensible approach to marketing and price setting. Kate kept us informed of progress and in a chain of four buyers/sellers kept things moving. All went thorugh smoothly and Kate answered all queries quickly, politely and professionally. Chased things as needed and communicated well with us.
