Youngsters from Ashgate Croft School enjoyed a behind the scenes tour of Saltergate.
Chesterfield FC hosted pupils from Blue Class accompanied by teacher Alison Rodgers, a committed Spireite.
The children, aged from six to nine, are studying 'special places' this term and Saltergate is Alison's special place.
The visit, organised by Chesterfield FC in the Community, involved the pupils going on a private tour to see the dressing rooms and the board room. There was also the chance to walk down the players' tunnel and onto the pitch for a game with community manager Andy (Bruno) Morris.
Andy arranged the trip as part of the club's work with the recently-created Football League Trust.
The on-field activities complemented ball-skills work done in school.
''The children thoroughly enjoyed the morning out. They were particularly excited by playing on the field and meeting Bruno,'' said a school representative.
