Ladycross Infant and Nursery School are delighted to announce that we are becoming a 'No Outsiders' school. 

‘No Outsiders’ is an approach created by  Andrew Moffatt who is an Assistant Headteacher at Parklands school, Birmingham in response to ensuring that the equality Act 2010 is taught effectively. The aim of the programme, which we are adopting here at Ladycross, is to ensure that our ethos  is one where every member of the school community, as well as every visitor through our doors, feels welcome and able to be themselves without fear of discrimination.

 We will approach this by engaging in weekly assemblies that focus on engaging photos which will be used to open up discussions and debate. These photos will be shared with families via Dojo on a weekly basis. We will also  read a number of key texts in each year group. These age-appropriate books with help to generate class discussions. A list of these books and the focus of each book can be seen below:

EYFS Books	Book Focus	Year 1 Books	Book Focus	Year 2	Book Focus
