Thera-Build®
At North Road Community Primary School we offer Thera-Build® as part of our therapeutic offer to pupils. Thera-Build® is a playful therapeutic approach for promoting emotional well-being in children using LEGO® bricks.
Thera-Build® is an adult led but child-centred therapeutic approach for building confidence, raising self-esteem and encouraging purposeful conversation. It is based on authentic, playful, active interaction with children and young people to improve social skills, build resilience, nurture positive relationships and promote good mental health, through shared construction experiences with LEGO® bricks. Our qualified Thera-Build® practitioner works with children across a block of twelve therapeutic sessions.
North Road Community Primary School is very proud to be awarded the Thera-Build® Schools’ Award for successfully implementing the core values of the Thera-Build® Approach within school over a sustained period, reaching the required standard of provision. The school has demonstrated strong leadership in Safeguarding, supporting children’s mental health and well-being, understanding the importance of play for a child’s development and the Thera-Build® with LEGO® Approach is an active part of the school curriculum.
