We are a larger than average community school with a small school feel. We seek to provide a caring, supportive and nurturing environment where children feel happy and safe to learn and fulfil their potential. You will see from our very full newsletters that life at Buckingham Park is busy and full of opportunities for children to shine.
Our spacious school with its extensive grounds, is at the heart of our community and we work closely with families to help our children develop the essential skills for a happy and fulfilled life.
As such, we have an expert inclusion team comprising of our Inclusion lead, Inclusion assistant, pupil counsellor and forest school Lead, as well as a School Led Tutor and highly trained LSAs throughout the school.
We listen to children and their experiences to help shape our future Most importantly, our school values empathy, perseverance, independence, collaboration and creativity, and our Buckingham B's of be kind, be safe and be our best , are at the heart of everything we do.
