At Riddings Infant and Nursery School we aim to provide a happy, safe and inclusive environment where a broad and balanced curriculum celebrates our diverse range of pupils and their individual skills, talents and contributions.

Hello. My name is Miss Kamillo. I am the Nursery Teacher and the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo). If you would like to speak to me about your child then please contact me on 01773 602767, at info@riddings-inf.derbyshire.sch.uk or come into school to arrange an appointment. My non-teaching days are Monday and Tuesday, appointments can be arranged on these days or for after school. Please also look out for some drop in times and coffee morning events which will be shared via Parent Hub during the year.

As SENCO I am responsible for:

• The operation of the 'SEND Policy' and co-ordinating the specific provision made to support individual pupils with SEND.
• Ensuring that pupils with SEND receive appropriate support and access high quality teaching.
• Ensuring that you as a parent/carer are involved in the supporting of your child’s learning and kept informed about the intervention and support your child is receiving.
• Liaising with the other professionals that may come into school to support your child such as: Speech and Language Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Educational Psychologist, behaviour support or School Nurse.
• Updating the SEND register and making sure records are kept of your child’s needs and progress.
• The named governor for SEND is Mrs L. Doyle and she can be contacted through school on the telephone number and email address listed above.
