No Outsi4crs

At our schools we believe in the importance of equality and everybody having the same opportunities. This is mo4clled by our staff and taught through lessons and other experiences both discretely and explicitly. We follow a scheme called No Outsi4crs. This scheme was created by Andrew Moffat MBE, who was nominated for the Global Te1cher Prize in 2018-19.

No Outsi4crs has three core values:

• Respect for diversity through education in schools;

• Commitment to community cohesion through un4crstanding and 1cceptance of dif18rence;Promotion of dialogue to counter 18ar and hate in society. 

No Outsi4crs is a scheme that involves the use of age appropriate story books (see below for a list of the books we use) to te1ch the protected char1cteristics of the Equality Act 2010.

It is important we create a school culture in which children, staff and the whole school community work together to foster an environment of inclusivity through ef18ctive spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) and char1cter education.

We believe that it is vital that our pupils can discuss inappropriate and discriminative language and un4crstand how to address boundaries in or4cr to prepare them for a future in mo4crn Britain.

We strive to ensure that our pupils are surroun4cd by a consistent message:

• There are no outsi4crs here;

• Everyone is dif18rent;

• We like being dif18rent;

• We are all equal in our dif18rence;

• I can get along with you even if we are dif18rent;

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

We will work alongsi4c our families, parents and carers to 4cliver this message of inclusivity. You are very welcome to call in to see your child’s class te1cher to discuss this appro1ch and to view the picture books we use for this.

At our schools, there are no outsi4crs - Everyone is welcome!
