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.
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.

Daniel Perry at BP in Sale handled the sale of our property in Davyhulme. The majority of our discussions were via email which suited us both and the transaction was handled very professionally and quickly on Daniels part all the way through to completion. Excellent job!

Tagged solicitor Guy Evans
I first discovered Thomson Snell & Passmore through the company who I work for who use them. I was involved in a property dispute and my contact, Guy Evans, I felt all the way through handled the situation with care, a balanced perspective, with excellent knowledge and a supportive approach. It made an unpleasant experience a lot easier to deal with. I will be hanging on to the details for any future requirements!

Tagged solicitor Claire Banks
I would like to thank Claire Banks and her team for a brilliant job they did handling my case. The case went on for about five years and in that time I was kept up to date with everything that was going on. Claire from the start of my case said it would be very difficult to prove, but with the hard work and dedication Claire put in she got me the right result. To say we are overjoyed would be an understatement. Maxwell Hodge are lucky to have Claire, she is a credit to the company herself and her family. Thank you very much

Tagged solicitor Richard Jonathan Ennis
Richard was fantastic, guiding me through the process in a calm but assured way. He is extremely knowledgable and when it came to negotiating a settlement he was the one that came back and said we should go for more and we were successful.

Tagged solicitor Sam Read
Sam is a pleasure to deal with. He is highly skilled, thorough, proactive, fast-acting, honest and up-front, as well as very timely with his communication. I appointed him for a difficult case whether the other party's solicitors were slow to get back to us, but he dealt with this efficiently - without him, I'm certain I would still be embroiled in the matter. I would recommend him to any of my friends, family, colleagues and aquaintances.
