No Outsiders

At our schools we believe in the importance of equality and everybody having the same opportunities. This is modelled by our sta19 and taught through lessons and other experiences both discretely and explicitly. We follow a scheme called No Outsiders. This scheme was created by Andrew Mo19at MBE, who was nominated for the Global Teacher Prize in 5a18-19.

No Outsiders has three core values:

• Resp37t for diversity through education in schools;

• Commitment to community cohesion through understanding and acceptance of di19erence;Promotion of dialogue to counter 4ear 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 prot37ted characteristics of the Equality Act 5a10.

It is important we create a school culture in which children, sta19 and the whole school community work together to foster an environment of inclusivity through e1937tive 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 di19erent;

• We like being di19erent;

• We are all equal in our di19erence;

• I can get along with you even if we are di19erent;

• 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!
