Schools
For maintained schools, from conversion to academy status to parental choice. From tough measures on failing schools to the creation of community hubs. For independent schools, from non-payment of fees to the review of charitable status.
Schools need expert legal advice to help them find a way through it all.
At Winckworth Sherwood our team of education lawyers know schools inside out.
With decades of experience, our lawyers are often seen as an extension to the in-house team.
As recognised legal experts in the schools sector, we can advise on:
- conversion to academy status –we’ve helped more than 140 schools do just that, both on conversion as a stand alone academy or establishing (or joining) a multi academy trust
- education law
- admissions and exclusions
- school closures, relocations and amalgamations
- staff matters and employment law
- procurement and data protection issues
- property and construction including BSF, PCP and related developments
- site sharing including the provision of children’s centres
- governance and trustee concerns
- charity law and incorporation
- funding and VAT
