🎉 SHE DID IT! 🎉🎖️
Our incredible Steph Meehan has absolutely SMASHED the London Marathon 2026 — completing all 26.2 miles in an amazing time of 5 hours, 14 minutes and 51 seconds! 🏅🙌
And just LOOK at these photos — someone forgot to tell her she was running a marathon! 😄💪 She is an absolute superstar!
But that's not all… Steph has also completely smashed her fundraising target, raising a whopping £2,357 for our wonderful pupils at Alfreton Park School — blowing her £2,000 goal out of the water! Every single penny will go towards sensory toys and resources to help our children learn, develop, and flourish. 💛
Steph, words cannot express how proud we all are of you. You have shown our pupils, our team, and our whole community what it looks like to go above and beyond — every single step of the way. You are an absolute legend and we are so lucky to have you as part of the AP family. 💚
A huge, heartfelt thank you to every single person who donated, shared, and cheered Steph on. You helped make this happen — and our pupils are the ones who will benefit. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏

🎨🚂 What an incredible day for our amazing pupils!
We are SO proud of our pupils who visited Wingfield Station 1947 last week to help paint a brand new log train for children to enjoy! 🌟
Three coats of vibrant red paint were carefully and lovingly applied — what a fantastic job they did! The train itself has been beautifully constructed by the Wingfield Station Woodland Volunteers, and next week painting will continue on the seats and chassis.
We genuinely cannot wait to see the finished product — it is going to be absolutely wonderful!
A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone at Wingfield Station 1947 for always going above and beyond to support our pupils. Opportunities like this mean the world to us and to them. 💚

We are so grateful and full of pride for our amazing TA, Steph Meehan, who is running the London Marathon 2026 this Sunday to raise money for our wonderful pupils at Alfreton Park School! 🧡
Steph has been a hugely loved member of the AP family for 12 years, and her kindness and dedication to our children shines every single day. We truly cannot thank her enough for going above and beyond — all 26.2 miles of it!
This morning in briefing, the whole team came together to record a special video message for Steph — because she deserves every bit of love and support we can give her! 💛
The response so far has been absolutely incredible, and we are SO close to the finish line! Steph is now just £265 away from her £2,000 target — that's less than 10% of our followers each giving just £1. Imagine if we could get her there before she even crosses the finish line! 🙌
Every single donation goes directly towards sensory toys and resources for our incredible pupils, supporting them to learn, develop, and flourish.
If you haven't yet had a chance to donate, now is the time! You can donate here 👇 🔗 www.justgiving.com/page/stephanie-meehan-1?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL
Please share this post, spread the word, and let's give Steph the send-off she deserves! 💪
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Steph, and to every single person who has shown their support. You are all wonderful! 🌟

🌟 Holly Class Adventures! 🌟
We are SO proud of our incredible Holly Class pupils! 🙌
Last term, as part of their functional English and Maths lessons, Holly Class have been working hard on travel training and using money in real-life situations — and last week they put it all into practice! 🚌💛
The pupils caught the bus from Alfreton Bus Station, using their personal Gold Cards or money to pay, and showed off everything they'd learned in class about bus etiquette — they were absolute stars! ⭐
Once in Ripley, they explored the shops before heading to Wetherspoon's for lunch, where they chose their own meals and paid at the till themselves. How amazing is that?!
Watching our young people grow in confidence and independence is what it's all about. These are real, life-changing skills that are preparing them brilliantly for adulthood. 💪
We are so incredibly proud of every single one of you, Holly Class. Keep being absolutely amazing! 🌟💚 ... See MoreSee Less
