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

On returning from the Summer holidays, Year 6 explored the skills someone may hold in order to 'Stand out from the Crowd'. They came up with great characteristics such as being brave, being able to guide and being passionate! #skillsforlife #standoutfromthecrowd @thesteptrust pic.twitter.com/M1msMPZi23— Applegarth Academy (@ApplegarthAc) September 11, 2024
