Children with SEND
If your child has a Special Educational Need and/or Disability (SEND) and you are considering Rhodes Avenue Primary School’s Nursery for their nursery education we would encourage you to contact our Early Years Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCO – Anne Rawcliffe: anne.rawcliffe@rhodes.haringey.sch.uk) before applying in order to make a face-to-face appointment with her in order to discuss your child’s needs and so that she can talk through how we support children with SEND in our nursery. Our SENDCO will begin transition work for children with SEND following the allocation and acceptance of nursery spaces.
The SEND Code of Practice places a legal duty for all local authorities to fund and offer a Parent Partnership Service. This is a statutory service which offers free, confidential and impartial information, guidance, advice and support for parents/carers of children with special educational needs around their education. Haringey’s Parent Partnership Service is run by Markfield (https://markfield.org.uk/haringeys-send-information-advice-support-service/). They offer training workshops, group talks and offer 1:1 face-to-face sessions. We strongly parents take up this service in order to get all the information and support they need.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to register for my 30 hour eligibility code?
HMRC recommends applying by the 31st July 2021 in order for the school to receive the funding. If an eligibility code is not received before a child starts parents may have to pay for the provision. Parents must provide the code to school as soon as they receive it.
