Rights Respecting Ministers - Manashvee and Samreen 

Hi, we are Manashvee and Samreen and we are the Rights Respecting Ministers at Applegarth Academy.

At Applegarth, we are an anti-racist school, and so we work closely with our Pupil Parliament and staff to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion. Using our EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) calendar as a guide, we help run initiatives and events that celebrate our differences and bring us closer together. It is also our role to teach the children in the school their rights and ensure that they are being respected. Each week we choose the right of the week and present it in assembly!

Eco-Warriors - Elaina, Benjamin and Kesh. 

Hi, we are Elaina, Benjamin and Kesh and we are proud to be the Eco-Warriors at Applegarth Academy. Our role is to raise awareness about important environmental issues and help our Academy reduce waste, save energy, and look after our natural world. We also work with the Site team to make sure that our learning evnironments are clean and that we have a safe and fun time in school.

Communication Ministers -  Aniyah-Leigh and Frankie

Hi, we are Aniyah-Leigh and Frankie and we're excited to work together as the Communications Minister at Applegarth Academy. Our role is all about ensuring clear and open communication across our school! 

We do this by meeting regularly and taking ideas from pupils across the school to share with the rest of Pupil Parliament. We are also in charge of creating the newsletters and ensuring that the assembly hall and slides are ready for assemblies.
