🚂 What a fantastic day out! 🚂

Oak Class and some of our Holly Class pupils had a brilliant trip to Matlock as part of our ongoing travel training programme! 🎉

Our pupils did a wonderful job using the Trainline website to plan the whole journey themselves — researching departure and return times like pros! Once in Matlock, they explored the town's shops before heading to a fish & chip shop where they independently ordered and paid for their own lunch. 🍟

Moments like these are so important — building real-life community inclusion and social skills in the most natural, meaningful way possible. We couldn't be prouder of every single one of them! 💚

🌟 Larch Class — Independent Travel Trip 🌟

We are absolutely bursting with pride over our incredible Larch Class students!

This term, they have been working hard to develop their independent travel skills — practising through role play, visiting the bus station, and learning how to use bus passes and timetables.
Then came the big moment: they planned their very own trip to East Midlands Designer Outlet — completely by themselves! 🙌

They chose which bus to take, worked out when they needed to leave school and when to return, decided where to eat, and paid for their own meals. Every step of the way, they showed incredible independence, maturity, and teamwork.

Out and about, they were an absolute credit to our school — chatting confidently and politely with members of the public, and receiving some truly lovely comments about their manners and behaviour.

We could not be prouder - you are superstars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ... See MoreSee Less

We are excited to share details of a very special fundraising campaign taking place at Alfreton Park School called - 🌟 Reach for Our Stars 🌟

This heartfelt project has been created in memory of Teddy, Amie, and Rubie — three much-loved pupils who touched the lives of so many within our school community. Through this campaign, we hope to honour their memories by creating specialist sensory spaces that will support our pupils for many years to come.

The planned spaces have been thoughtfully designed to provide safe, calming, and engaging environments for children with sensory, emotional, physical, and communication needs. These rooms will help pupils feel regulated, reassured, and better able to access learning and everyday school life.

Our plans include:

⭐ Teddy’s Sensory Den – An active sensory environment including a sensory swing, soft play, and climbing wall, supporting movement, exploration, and confidence-building.

⭐ Amie’s Relaxation Room – A calming, tactile space featuring a colour-changing ball pit, music, and snow tube, designed to promote emotional regulation and comfort through interactive sensory play.

⭐ Rubie’s Rainbow Room – A dark sensory room offering light and UV experiences, creating an immersive space that encourages curiosity, relaxation, and sensory development.

Over the coming months we will be holding a variety of fundraising events and activities to help bring these wonderful spaces to life, and we would love the support of our whole school community.

We are particularly asking whether any parents, carers, family members, friends, or staff may know of local businesses, organisations, or companies who may be willing to support the project through donations, sponsorship, fundraising, or gifts of equipment/services.

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will help us create something truly meaningful for our pupils and leave a lasting legacy in memory of three very special children.

If you think you may be able to help, or know of a company we could approach, please contact the school office or email Katy Morley directly kmorley@alfretonpark.derbyshire.sch.uk ... See MoreSee Less

💚 It's Wear It Green Day at Alfreton Park School! 💚

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, and it's something we feel really strongly about here at Alfreton Park. Today, our school community is wearing green to show our support and remind everyone that mental health matters — for our pupils, our families, and of course, our incredible staff.

To show some extra appreciation for our wonderful team, we've set up a little treat station in the staffroom today — free fruit and biscuits to keep those smiles going! 🍎🍪

Looking after our wellbeing is just as important as everything else we do, and we're proud to play our part in raising awareness.

💚 Let's keep the conversation going. You are not alone. 💚
