We will be swapping the groups over next week. On Tuesday afternoon, we had Miss Troughton teaching. Miss Troughton’s topic this term is Parenting Awareness as part of PSHE, and 10A will be learning what it’s really like to look after a child and understanding the responsibilities. As this was the first lesson, we briefly chatted about how to keep a baby safe and healthy by clothing, feeding, keeping them clean and providing a safe place to sleep. Miss Troughton brought in a few baby dolls, where 10A were asked to put on a nappy. At first we had a few of the learners not really wanting a go, but by the end they all either watched or changed their minds, and tried. We think they all agreed, it’s not as easy as it looked. We look forward to following lessons in this topic. ### First week back in 2026 10A [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3509.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3509.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3510.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3510.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3511.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3511.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3512.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3512.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3513.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3513.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3514.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3514.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3515.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3515.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3518.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3518.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3519.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3519.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3520.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3520.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3521.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3521.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3522.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3522.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3523.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3523.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3525.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/first-week-back-in-2026-10a/IMG_3525.jpeg) [PSHCE](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/pshce) [KS4](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/ks4) [10A Class](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/10a-class) [2025-2026](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/2025-2026) [ Welcome back Maple class!](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-08-11-17-welcome-back-maple-class) [Welcome back Rowan Class 2025/26 ](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-09-01-52-welcome-back-rowan-class-2025-26) ![Astley Park School](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/logo/AstleyPark_School_footer_logo.png) #### Astley Park School Harrington Road Chorley Lancashire PR7 1JZ 01257 262227 #### School Info -
