Richmond offer for children with special educational needs and disabilities 

At Kew Riverside, we believe that all children are entitled to an education that enables them to make progress so that they:

• reach their potential
• become confident, independent individuals living fulfilling lives, and 
• make a successful transition into the next stage of their education.

This policy is written in line with the requirements of:

• Part 3 of the Children and Families Act 2014
• SEND Code of Practice 2014 
• The Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 
• The Special Educational Needs (Personal Budgets and Direct Payments) Regulations, Section 49 
• The Order setting out transitional arrangements, Section 137 
• The Equality Act 2010

It should also be read in conjunction with the following Kew Riverside policies:

• School Vision
• Behaviour Policy
• Anti-Bullying Policy
• Exclusions Policy
• Equalities Policy 
• Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy
• Complaints Policy
• Accessibility Policy

This information report was developed with a representative from the governing body and a group of parents of children with SEND. It will be reviewed annually.
