🪴 Green fingers at Alfreton Park School 🪴
Our very own Matt, together with some of our wonderful pupils, has been busy growing spider plants — and they're now ready to find their forever homes! 🌱
These beautiful, easy-care plants have been lovingly nurtured right here at school, and we'd love for them to go to families and friends in our community.
🏷️ £3.50 each
📍 Available to purchase from school
Spider plants are brilliant for homes and classrooms — they're low-maintenance, pet-friendly, and great for cleaner air. The perfect little piece of Alfreton Park to take home!
Drop us a message or pop into school to grab yours before they're gone. 🌿💚 ... See MoreSee Less

We are delighted to congratulate our parents and carers who, having previously completed their Level 1 training, have now successfully achieved their Level 2 Makaton qualification. Their commitment to developing their communication skills will continue to have a positive impact on their families and support meaningful communication at home.
We also had the pleasure of delivering three Makaton Awareness sessions to the teams at SC Travel and AHS Cars, who transport our pupils to and from school each day. By learning key Makaton signs and symbols, they are helping to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for the children and young people they work with. As part of the training, they were also provided with Widgit symbols to support pupils' communication and understanding during their journeys.
Makaton is a unique communication programme that uses signs, symbols and speech to support communication, language development and understanding. It can help people of all ages to express themselves, build confidence and engage more effectively with the world around them.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended the training sessions and continues to use Makaton to support our pupils and families. Your enthusiasm, commitment and willingness to learn help make communication more accessible for all 💚👏 ... See MoreSee Less
