Education

‘An interesting and exciting (education) practice’

Chambers 2006

Stone King Solicitors understand how education institutions work and currently act for about 130 independent and maintained schools.

Our wide experience in both the education and charity sectors enables us to help schools develop best practice, drawing from what is positive in each sector.   We develop close relationships with our education clients and we advise in a way that supports the school's particular ethos and aims. 

We advise on the full range of education law issues, including:

• Governance, corporate and regulatory issues including statutory interpretation and guidance;
• Relationships with parents, students and staff, including admissions, contractual issues, special educational needs, bullying and behaviour, exclusions, complaints and discipline;
• Discrimination including disability discrimination;
• Health and Safety, including school visits.

We are also provide training for staff and governors on all aspects of the law affecting schools, tailored to what the individual school identifies as needed.

In their final comments the judges said 'Stone King place charity work at the centre of their practice and having concluded the apparently seamless integration of two highly renowned charity teams they deserve top marks for entrepreneurship and innovation.'
