Independent School, Academy and Free School governance and regulation

3PB is one of the leading education law sets and its members advise on - and handle cases covering - governance and internal regulation of independent schools, academies and free schools.

This highly specialist team of barristers have many decades of experience in equality law, issues relating to school re-organisations and funding, academy conversions, admissions and exclusions including failure to pay fees, SEN provision, rights to prayer, school uniform policy, anti-harassment and anti-bullying policies and legal reform in education.

Barristers routinely help schools and academies draw up suitable policies and advise boards of governors on their rights, powers and good policies.
