The exclusion of a child from school on a permanent or temporary basis can be upsetting and potentially devastating for a child.

The School and Governors have to carefully consider all of the circumstances of the incident that lead to the exclusion.  There are a number of procedures that have to be followed.  Parents and children have a right to challenge the decision, and  a right to attend a hearing at which an independent panel scrutinises the school's actions.

The relationship between school, the child and sometimes the parents is also important and has to be carefully considered.

We are able to provide advice, write the appeal statement and even attend the exclusion appeal hearing if you instruct us to.

This is a complicated area of law that inevitably has a very emotional impact on all concerned.

Our service is based on years of experience dealing with Education Law matters.

We offer a free 20 minute consultation to determine if we are able to assist in your child's case.
