Nicholas Hancox Solicitors - Education Law - Parents (Independent Schools)

Examples of
our advice:

Child A was 8 when he was accused of stealing food from his boarding school kitchen. We asked the school why the boy was so hungry and whether other boys were also taking food on night-time raids.

Child B was bullied at her prep school, where Mum worked part-time and was reluctant to complain. We advised on alternatives for the girl’s education and she has now settled in happily at her local state primary school.

Child C was accused of sexually assaulting another boy. We advised the accused child’s parents on how best to protect their son and safeguard his ongoing education.

Child D hated her independent sixth form and left after only three days. The bursar demanded two whole terms’ fees. We advised the parents on whether it was best to fight the school or to ‘pay up and move on.

Child E was falling behind, because her primary school teacher could not cope. What rights do parents have when the state school lets them down like that? We helped the parents to a better education.

Our parent clients come from far and wide:

For example, we have current or recent clients in the Western Isles (Outer Hebrides), London, Reading, Bristol, Kent, Croydon, Suffolk and, of course, local clients in Norfolk.

We advise parents by telephone and by email, by letter and (if it suits them) at our office here in Norfolk.

We will work evenings and weekends, when that is what our parent clients need.
