Disappointed about your child's school admission?

It has been a long wait for the Decision Letter telling you
about your child's secondary school place and now it's
here.

Has your child not been granted admission to your first
choice of school? Most parents are aware that in these
circumstances there is a right of appeal but information
can be confusing.

We specialise in education law and we understand the
intricacies of the appeals process. Of course we can't
relieve the uncertainty by predicting whether an appeal
will be successful, but we can help to clear up some
of the confusion.

If you would like to be well prepared, how about a 10
minute chat with us so that you understand what your
next steps should be if you wish to appeal?

Simply complete our online form on the page,
provide a telephone number and best times to call, and
a qualified and experienced solicitor will telephone you to
answer any questions about the appeal process and tell
you how we can help with this. There is no fee for this
and absolutely no obligation to instruct us if you do
decide to appeal.

If you prefer to communicate with us by email or see the
Blog that's fine too.

verbal information about your child.
