Our specialists have significant experience in representing parents of children in independent or private schools. Most importantly, we understand how difficult disputes can be, especially when you’re arguing over something as important as your child’s education.

Get in touch with your Education Lawyers for initial advice today.
We always aim to resolve disputes as quickly and as amicable as possible. We believe that early identification of both the underlying facts and your options at the outset is key to achieving a resolution that everyone is happy with, saving you time and making sure your money is spent wisely.
Our Education Lawyers will always adapt our advice to your situation, to guide you through the options that are open to you. We know in some cases it’s really important to hear your child’s perspective and, where appropriate we give them the opportunity to explain what has happened, however awkward the facts may be.
It’s never pleasant for parents and children to have to confront these situations, but we are here to help you. Our advice will depend on the facts of your case but we are happy to work in any way you feel most comfortable.
We can either provide discrete behind the scenes help and advice to parents looking to resolve their issues, or our Education Lawyers can formally deal directly with the school if you’d like us to.
We can help if your dispute with your child’s private school involves:
We look at each case individually, assess how likely it is that we can reach your desired outcome and work out the best way of getting there with you.

An EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) identifies your child’s Special Educational Needs (SEN) and should entitle them to the right provision they need to support them.
The reality of the end of Year 12 for all students normally includes a set of internal exams. This helps the school or college to have a better understand of how well pupils have coped with the transition from GCSE to A Level work, and helps inform the process of providing predicted grades to universities.
If your child has Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), they may need an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). But we understand that EHCPs can be confusing.
