The No Outsiders assembly this week uses Wicked to explore disability representation in films and asks whether it's ok for a non disabled person to play a disabled character. Great discussions to be had in schools no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/11/wick...

The KS1 #NoOutsiders assembly this week uses a picture of a boy winning a race and sharing his win with his competitors. We can use this to explore competition, empathy and friendship with young children ks1no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/10/winn...

The No Outsiders assembly this week is about scapegoating people and assuming everything will be ok if someone is got rid of. It uses the story of seven women convicted as witches in 1652. Can we learn anything from history? #NoOutsiders #Belonging no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/10/scap...
