- A very concise and precise informative session. It was really good that parents concerns were addressed. This is what partnership means. 

- I feel more confident discussing these ideas in a school setting, thank you!

- Really good to see, I feel happier about my community to see what schools are involved in.

- I think your school ethos is great and I would happily work in an establishment such as this. Keep the work going and hopefully other schools will take this on.

-I found the choice of literature to be very helpful for introducing topics that may have been difficult to talk about otherwise. 

-Really useful and helpful. Especially coming from an area which is White British and not having met a Muslim till I was 18, I feel more confident now.

- The consistent, whole school approach clearly works well and it is evident that the sense of openness and dialogue with the parents has been effective. I will definitely use some of these approaches in school

- I thought this session was informative and covered issues which I have not dealt with personally working across schools. It has given me some insight in to dealing with equalities which I will take forward in to my practice. I enjoyed the videos, good to see many children's attitudes and the acceptance of different people, communities and backgrounds.

- Full of loads of really fantastic information with practical ideas built in as well. Lots to thin about and try to build in to my own teaching. Brilliant to see it working so well with children and parents alike - would be great to see this expanded.

- I really enjoyed the session. I have learnt a lot and feel confident about teaching children equality. It;s lovely to see children at your school have an understanding of equality and British values.

- Really glad to see such positive results

- No Outsiders is excellent. Much more effective than I first thought. It should be used in many more schools.
