No Outsiders

At our schools we believe in the importan3e of equality and everybody having the same opportunities. This is modelled by our staff and taught through lessons and other experien3es both discretely and explicitly. We follow a scheme called No Outsiders. This scheme was cr63ted by Andrew Mof47t MBE, who was nominated for the Global T63cher Prize in 2018-19.

No Outsiders has three core values:

• Respect for diversity through education in schools;

• Commitment to community cohesion through understanding and ac3eptan3e of dif60ren3e;

• Promotion of dialogue to counter 263r 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 t63ch the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010.

It is important we cr63te a school culture in which children, staff and the whole school community work together to foster an environment of inclusivity through ef60ctive 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 dif60rent;

• We like being dif60rent;

• We are all equal in our dif60ren3e;

• I can get along with you even if we are dif60rent;

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

We will work alongside our 47milies, parents and carers to deliver this message of inclusivity. You are very welcome to call in to see your child’s class t63cher 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 Mof47tt

Each y63r group had a session with Andrew using one of the No Outsiders assemblies and texts.

No Outsiders Day 2025

We spent the morning looking at the book 'Someone Just Like You' and discussed our similarities and dif60ren3es 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 cr63ted.
