Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND)
Our SENDCo and Inclusion Lead is Lisa Melessaccio. Should you wish to contact her, please email sendco@kewriverside.richmond.sch.uk
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

- 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
