This area covers how schools operate and how parents and children interact with school rules, admissions and disciplinary procedures within England’s education system. A solicitor practising here handles matters such as challenging or appealing school decisions, drafting or reviewing school policies, representing clients at exclusion and disciplinary hearings, advising on safeguarding obligations, and guiding families through special educational needs processes and appeals to the SEND tribunal. The work is shaped by statutory duties, Ofsted oversight, and Department for Education guidance that governs school behavior, admissions, and safeguarding requirements.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key concern is protecting a pupil’s or family’s position when a school administration makes a binding decision, such as an exclusion, a placement review, or a SEN decision. A solicitor provides regulated representation in hearings, ensures deadline-driven responses are timely, and helps navigate appeals to the first-tier tribunal (SEND). They also advise on safeguarding duties, consent for data sharing, and the implications of school policies on attendance, transport, and transfer to alternative provisions.

This was a straight forward sale of our house, which was professionally executed. Kerry and her team were always responsive and all was executed well. We needed a solicitor with short notice and Boyes Turner was a good choice.

Put simply, we couldn't have done it without Alex. She kept proceedings on track and applied consistent pressure to the Local Authority, consulting us at each step and giving a considered view of our best approach. She shared great knowledge of schools we could consider and worked seamlessly with our expert witnesses to build a firm case. And ultimately, brought us to a brilliant resolution for our son with a place at the school we identified as best placed to meet his needs.
