We would like to say a BIG thank you for your support and generosity; our harvest collection was a brilliant success! Today, two local charities and organisations received our donations.

The children of Applegarth have been remembering those, past and present, who risk their lives at war. We had an informative assembly, respectfully gave a minute silence and placed our school wreath. We will continue learning and remembering. #RememberanceDay @thesteptrust pic.twitter.com/ZgL3398Y3G— Applegarth Academy (@ApplegarthAc) November 11, 2024

This week, our Year 5 classes came together and had a debate about whether or not it is a good thing to be famous. Tiger class was arguing for and Turtle was arguing against. Which side would you pick? 🤔 #sharingourviews #respectingotheropinions @thesteptrust pic.twitter.com/GvXfeqatkw— Applegarth Academy (@ApplegarthAc) October 18, 2024

Today we supported ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ by dressing in red. Many conversations have been had as to why it is important to stand up against racism. At Applegarth, we believe this is an important message to discuss, learn from and share with others #inclusivity @thesteptrust pic.twitter.com/Xunfcjf6Bh— Applegarth Academy (@ApplegarthAc) October 18, 2024
