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.

Gregory Ostroff and the extended team at Streathers are second to none when it comes to property litigation matters. Highly professional, extremely knowledgable and always seeking the most productive route through some very complicated situations and challenges.

Henry Doswell

Tagged solicitor Henry Doswell

As LIP, there are things, like Scedule of Loss, where professional preparation gives credibility to claim. Henry advised me on several matters, regarding my employment tribunal and prepared my SoL, resulting in an 11th hour settlement. Very happy with the outcome.
