It is natural that every parent or guardian wants the absolute best for their child. However, those who oversee and regulate school admissions and attendances tend to approach their decision making with very different objectives and agenda. This sadly can result in parents and children having to face the disappointment and frustration of failing to secure a place at their carefully selected infant school, primary school, secondary school or sixth form; or worse, the possibility of criminal prosecution if their child isn’t deemed to be attending school properly.
When this happens, our lawyers at Reeds are on hand to give you the benefit of their experience and support. You can be reassured that they will advise you pragmatically and honestly, and that the advice you are getting is completely tailored to your own individual circumstances, and to securing the best possible outcome for you and/or your child.
