Additional Support
At Buckingham Park school we offer a variety of additional support and interventions to enable children to flourish and have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
Lego Therapy
LEGO-Based Therapy is a social development program that uses LEGO activities to support the development of a wide range of social skills within a group setting.
Playing with LEGO in a therapy setting promotes social interaction, turn-taking skills, sharing, collaborative problem-solving and the learning of concepts. It can be used to target goals around social skills, language and motor skills.
Lego Therapy is led by Mrs Chuard and Miss Carpenter at Buckingham Park School.
For further information, please contact your child's class teacher.

Phonics Intervention
These are suitable for children who have not made the expected progress, despite interventions in a small group. We use assessments to identify which aspect of phonics we need to focus on with each child: reading graphemes/writing graphemes/reading tricky words/spelling tricky words/blending words.
The intervention will be delivered by a trained member of staff. We may share activities for further practice at home.
