Today, our beautiful Annabelle turns 30 & we couldn't let it pass without giving her a special shout-out. 🎈🫶🏻
Annabelle started at Alfreton Park as an Apprentice Teaching Assistant 13 years ago, she quickly qualified as a Specialist Teaching & Learning Assistant before progressing to teaching. She has taught across 3 of our pathways & is now our Informal Pathway & Behaviour Support Lead. What a start to a career & what an inspirational woman you are! 🙌🏻
We couldn't be prouder of you, Belle. You shine so brightly in everything that you do & we are beyond grateful for all you do for Alfreton Park. We hope your birthday is as truly magical as you are. ✨️
We love you! 💚 ...

A huge thank you to these wonderful parents and carers for completing their Level 1 Makaton course 👋 💚
The course was delivered over two mornings, giving families the opportunity to learn new signs and symbols to support communication with their children.
It’s fantastic to see such a commitment to developing communication skills and helping our pupils to express themselves, make choices and feel understood.
Thank you for your enthusiasm, dedication and for helping us to continue building a communication friendly community! ...

🍕🍕 Pizza Express Trip! 🍕🍕
Pupils from Oak, Larch and Holly Class recently enjoyed a fantastic joint outing to Pizza Express at East Midlands Designer Outlet!
During the visit, pupils learned all about how pizza is made, discovering the key ingredients and the steps involved in creating the perfect pizza. They then had the opportunity to get hands-on by making their own pizzas and designing their own pizza boxes before watching their creations be cooked and enjoying them for lunch.
The trip was a wonderful success, with everyone having lots of fun, enjoying some delicious pizza, and developing important life skills including communication, independence, following instructions, and teamwork.
A huge thank you to the team at Pizza Express for making our pupils feel so welcome and helping to create such a memorable experience. 😊
