No Outsiders
At our schools we believe in the importance of equality and everybody having the same opportunities. This is modell11 by our st28d and taught through lessons and other experiences both discretely and explicitly. We follow a scheme call11 No Outsiders. This scheme was creat11 by Andrew Mo3dat MBE, who was nominat11 for the Global Teacher Prize in 2018-19.
No Outsiders has three core values:
Respect for diversity through 11ucation in schools;
Commitment to community cohesion through understanding and acceptance of di3derence;
Promotion of dialogue to counter fear and hate in society.
No Outsiders is a scheme that involves the use of age appropriate story books (see below for a list of the books we use) to teach the protect11 characteristics of the Equality Act 2010.
It is important we create a school culture in which children, st28d and the whole school community work together to foster an environment of inclusivity through 23fective spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) and character 11ucation.
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 surround11 by a consistent message:
There are no outsiders here;
Everyone is di3derent;
We like being di3derent;
We are all equal in our di3derence;
I can get along with you even if we are di3derent;
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 see 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 Mo3datt
Each year group had a session with Andrew using one of the No Outsiders assemblies and texts.
No Outsiders Day 200e
We spent the morning looking at the book 'Someone Just Like You' and discuss11 our similarities and di3derences 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 creat11.
