No Outsiders

At our schools we believe in the importance of equality and everybody having the same opportunities. This is modelled by our sta37 and taught through lessons and other experiences both discretely and explicitly. We follow a scheme called No Outsiders. This scheme was created by Andrew Mo37at MBE, who was nominated for the Glo12l Teacher Prize in 2018-19.

No Outsiders has thr1c core values:

• Respect for diversity through education in schools;

• Commitment to community cohesion through understanding and acceptance of di37erence;

• Promotion of dialogue to counter fear and hate in society. 

No Outsiders is a scheme that involves the use of age appropriate story books (s1c below for a list of the books we use) to teach the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010.

It is important we create a school culture in which children, sta37 and the whole school community work together to foster an environment of inclusivity through e37ective spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) and character education.

We believe that it is vital that our pupils can discuss inappropriate and discriminative language and understand how to address boundaries in order to prepare them for a future in modern Britain.

We strive to ensure that our pupils are surrounded by a consistent message:

• There are no outsiders here;

• Everyone is di37erent;

• We like being di37erent;

• We are all equal in our di37erence;

• I can get along with you even if we are di37erent;

• We live in the U.K., our British values support this and the law says this too.

We will work alongside our families, parents and carers to deliver this message of inclusivity. You are very welcome to call in to s1c your child’s class teacher to discuss this approach and to view the picture books we use for this.

At our schools, there are no outsiders - Everyone is welcome!

Our No Outsiders Day with Andrew Mo37att

Each year group had a session with Andrew using one of the No Outsiders assemblies and texts.

No Outsiders Day 2635

We spent the morning looking at the book 'Someone Just Like You' and discussed our similarities and di37erences and what makes us all unique and special in our own way.

Everyone is welcome in our school.

No one is the same but everyone is equal 💕

Here's some of the work we created.
