No Outsiders
No Outsiders aims to encourage children to explore identities and focuses on diversity and embracing difference. Through carefully chosen picture books that promote discussion, we encourage an ethos of inclusion and tolerance with an aim to prepare children for a life where diversity is embraced and there is no fear of difference.
How do we achieve this ethos?
- Shared voice and language
- Assemblies
- Half termly lessons - linked to literature
- Displays
- Praise and sanction
- All stakeholders buying into this
- High profile
- Books and other literature celebrating diversity in our library and classrooms.
Why is this ethos so important?
Our children leave us destined for the workplace, for a role in modern Britain. We want our children to champion inclusion and celebrate diversity. To feel that they never are an outsider and to welcome all that they meet. We believe that no one is born to hate - it is learnt - we need to teach another lesson to spread love and show love.
The public sector equality act duty came into force across Great Britain on April 2011 - it means that public bodies have to consider all individuals when carrying out their day to day work - in shaping policy, in delivering services and in relation to their own employees.
‘You belong; everyone is welcome. There are no outsiders here!’
