Now the UK's Premier School Appeals Consultancy and Legal Practice covering admissions, SEN, exclusions and other educational issues. For more detail on SEN / exclusion matters, check out our sister company - School Legal Services at www.school-legal.com.

The aim of School Appeals Services is to provide you with professional advice and assistance, utilising our expertise and years of experience, to help you navigate the legal and bureaucratic obstacles that you will face in the admissions appeal process. We have Associates in nearly all areas of the country with experience ranging from qualified solicitors and barristers, paralegals and parent advocates, to current Appeal Clerks working in the admissions field five days a week. We cover all aspects of education law ranging from admission issues, SEN matters, exclusions, educational negligence and other aspects of education law.

We publish the most comprehensive and up to date Parent Guide (125 pages) available today on the subject of School Admissions which has just been revised to include the new Appeals Code of Practice 2009 (hundreds of copies sold in the last year) and can provide 1-2-1 telephone advice sessions (300 plus parents provided with specific guidance and advice in 2009) and full representation and advocacy services. Our success rate last year for the 95 parents that engaged us to represent them on the day was 79% compared with a national average of just under 25%. Also unlike others we do not cherry pick only the most winnable cases. Our service is highly competitive, very accessible (available 7 days a week) and costs are as low as possible to ensure we help as many parents as possible. Not only are we up front about our experience, we have a string of parents willing to let you inform you of the high level of service that we provided to them. We are not some “here today, gone tomorrow” outfit but a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) with an established national reputation and client base.

We cover local education authority, foundation, voluntary aided, voluntary controlled, faith and selective (grammar) schools.
