🌱 What a wonderful moment in our Horticulture classroom last week!
One of our amazing Ash Class pupils had a fantastic time working alongside Matt to plant onion bulbs. After watching and learning from Matt, they went on to plant all by themselves — demonstrating incredible focus, a real sense of pride, and some truly blossoming skills! 🧅✨
We love seeing our pupils grow in confidence and independence — both inside and outside the classroom.
Well done! 👏 ... See MoreSee Less

📣 Can YOU help shape our students' futures? 📣
Here at Alfreton Park School we're busy putting the finishing touches on our Careers Week — and we still have some spots available and would love your help! 💚
We're looking for local businesses and tradespeople to come in and inspire our young people on:
📅 Tuesday 21st April (morning)
📅 Thursday 23rd April (morning)
We're especially keen to hear from anyone working in practical trades and hands-on roles, such as:
🔨 Construction
🎨 Painting & Decorating
🌿 Gardening & Landscaping
⚡ Electricians
🛠️ Any other service or trade roles
Our students absolutely thrive when they get to roll up their sleeves and experience the world of work first-hand — so if you can offer even a short, interactive session, it would mean the world to them.
If you're interested, or know someone who might be, please get in touch with Kim Knowles directly:
📧 kknowles@alfretonpark.derbyshire.sch.uk / 01773 483330
Or feel free to send us a DM here. Sharing this post would also be a huge help! 🙏
