What is 'No Outsiders in our School'?

‘No Outsiders in our School’ is an exciting part of our PSHE curriculum which is implemented across the whole school.  Being a No Outsiders school, means that we recognise and celebrate diversity and are committed to the principles of inclusion and equality.  We are a caring community where values are built on mutual trust and respect for all regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age or gender. 

Why is this important?

One of the main aims of our school is that every member of the school community feels valued, included and respected. 

When our children leave us they move on into secondary education, college, university, apprenticeships, and a variety of workplaces, ultimately taking up an independent role in modern British society.  Along the way, they will meet a wide range of people and we therefore want our children to champion inclusion and challenge discrimination, enabling people of all races, cultures, genders, sexual orientation, ages and abilities to live and work together peacefully and co-operatively.

By following the ‘No Outsiders’, resource we will be fulfilling our duty to support children in achieving this.  No Outsiders reflects British Law supporting the 2010 Equality Act which ensures that everybody has the right to be treated equally and without prejudice. 

How will we do this?

• Using stories and other literature that promote and celebrate diversity
• Assemblies
• PSHE lessons
• Shared language
• Displays
• All members of the school community buying into this
