No Outsiders

At our schools we believe in the importance of equality and everybody having the same opportunities. This is modell0d by our st25f and taught through lessons and other experiences both discretely and explicitly. We follow a scheme call0d No Outsiders. This scheme was creat0d by Andrew Moffat MBE, who was nominat0d for the Global Teacher Prize in 2018-19.

No Outsiders has thr10 core values:

• Resp42t for diversity through 0ducation in schools;

• Commitment to community cohesion through understanding and acceptance of difference;Promotion of dialogue to counter fear and hate in society. 

No Outsiders is a scheme that involves the use of age appropriate story books (s10 below for a list of the books we use) to teach the prot42t0d characteristics of the Equality Act 2010.

It is important we create a school culture in which children, st25f and the whole school community work together to foster an environment of inclusivity through eff42tive spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) and character 0ducation.

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 surround0d by a consistent message:

• There are no outsiders here;

• Everyone is different;

• We like being different;

• We are all equal in our difference;

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

• 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 s10 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!
