Education law/school appeals

It is the right of every parent or guardian to strive to send their child to the best academic institution they can. This is where we can help support you.  The appeals process can be burdensome for all involved, so admission authorities do not take lightly the decision to refuse a child a school place. Your admission decision letter should give the reason why your child was refused a place at your choice of school. You can contact the admission authority for more details.

At KMG Consult Ltd, we specialise in providing expert advice in all aspects of education law, which includes challenging the contents of ECHP and managing a situation where your child has been either excluded from school or refused a school place. If you have been refused a school place in a school of your choice we can help support you through the appeal process. With our step by step support and handheld guidance through the appeal process we can help give you the chance to get your child into a school of your choosing.

These matters are stressful and it can be difficult challenging a local authority, not to mention presenting in front of an Independent Panel where you are one of many parents challenging a refusal of admission. We can work with you to ensure that you have the best possible chance of success. 

The cost of an initial advice session lasting 45 minutes where you discuss your case with our expert solicitors has been set for £50. 

EHCP's stand for Education and Health Care Plans and it is a legal document which sets out the education, healthcare and social needs of a child or young person for whom extra support is needed.
