School Claim Response Time

Summary

Schools in England, including multi-academy trusts, do not automatically receive extra time to respond to claims during holidays. Filing a claim with Form N1 may lead to scheduling delays due to summer holidays, but schools are not exempt from attending hearings. Consult a legal professional for guidance on deadlines and court schedules.
