Emma and Millie are best friends and ice dancers who are able to compete together in the Finnish nationals this year because of a rule change. We can use this story in schools to explore gender stereotypes and assumptions #NoOutsiders #inclusion no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/09/ice-...

I am loving our new British Values/ No Outsiders posters for schools. Lots of flags to show everyone is welcome in our school. There are blank spaces too so schools can add more flags if they need to so all children feel safe and seen. no-outsiders.com/shop-1

Had a great open No Outsiders lesson for y1 parents and carers this week at my new school. We used the brilliant book β€œI love me” and practiced saying affirmations to each other #NoOutsiders #Belonging #schools

I couldn't resist a cheeky little assembly for secondary school pupils using this photo that went viral today. Schools may want to use it with older pupils to discuss diversity in the UK today #NoOutsiders #belonging #diversity #refugeeswelcome no-outsiders-secondary.blogspot.com/2025/09/engl...

The No Outsiders assembly this week is about Julian and his lunch cart. It's a great story that can be used to explore attitudes towards disability and inclusion in our schools #NoOutsiders #PSHE #belonging no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/09/cart...

I always love arriving at a school and being greeted by a #NoOutsiders plaque to deliver training. It’s such a welcome! Great day teaching lessons in every class at a school in Essex and delivering inset to three further local schools at the end of the day #Belonging #inclusion

Loving the first #NoOutsiders display this year. We are finding ways to make sure every child knows they belong regardless of nationality, and teaching that we all bring something unique to the school #Belonging #pshe

Georgia wanted pockets but girls’ trousers didn’t have them! Are clothes gendered? What happened next? Schools can use this great assembly to talk about gender stereotypes and how to challenge them #NoOutsiders #PSHE no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/09/trou...

Last year I started giving schools the option to register as a No Outsiders school. This enabled me to keep in contact and grow a network of like-minded educators. Response was great and this year at the start of term we have almost as many registered as in the whole of last year! Details below

Flags: When Patriotism Becomes Politics | Belonging Effect We have all seen them. Driving up the motorway, crossing a roundabout in town, suddenly there it is: the Union Jack, or the red-and-white St George’s Cross.

For the assembly this week I wanted to do something to address the flags going up everywhere. I think children will be talking about this and I want to get infront of it with our inclusive school narrative. Everyone is welcome here #NoOutsiders no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/08/flag...

And that’s a wrap- last talk of the year at a uni in Birmingham. This year I’ve visited 75 schools, 11 conferences and 6 universities. Taught a #NoOutsiders lesson to over 20,000 children and trained 5000 adults. Now back to school for the y6 leavers assembly #PSHE #inclusion #belonging
