Whilst parents are said to have a preference in terms of the maintained school their child attends, in reality many parents face great difficulty in obtaining a place for their child at the school or academy of their choice.
Levenes Education and Disability Department have a wealth of experience in assisting parents with appeals where their child has not gained a place at the school of their choice. Whether for a place at the beginning of a child’s schooling, a transfer to secondary school, a place in a school’s sixth form or at any stage in between, we offer a complete and efficient service from initial advice through to representation at hearings.
Where parents have been unsuccessful at an appeal hearing, Levenes can advise on the possibility of challenging such a decision in the High Court or Ombudsman and bring such a challenge where necessary.
