Support for all the challenges of education from our legal experts

The education system can throw up many challenges whether you are a parent or teacher, or running a school or college. We have the experience and expertise to explain issues sympathetically and support you throughout any processes you must go through, towards the best possible solution.

Nationally recognised legal expertise

Our education team is led by specialist Polly Kerr, who has a national reputation. Polly is an expert SEND lawyer who has acted for many parents and represented many schools. This experience of both sides provides vital insight into pragmatic ways to settle disputes quickly with as little stress as possible. Polly has insight into school management from having been a governor of a special needs school for over two years and a governor at two mainstream lower schools for over a decade.  Polly has represented different types of schools (maintained, academies and independent schools), colleges, universities, local authorities and other organisations related to education, as well as individual teachers – and at all levels from primary to further and higher education.
