    School policies cover the rules and procedures that govern how a school operates, how it keeps children safe, and how it complies with legal duties in England. A solicitor working in this area helps create, review and update policies on safeguarding, behaviour and discipline, anti-bullying, pupil data and privacy (GDPR/UK GDPR), admissions, equalities, charging for activities, attendance, and curriculum-related provisions. They also advise governors and school leaders on implementing policies, handling policy breaches, and responding to inspections or investigations, ensuring policies remain compliant with statute and guidance.
