Parkfield School hit the news when parents of children began protesting against the No Outsiders programme — a scheme aimed at educating young people about living in a community full of dif erence and dfiversity, whether that is through ethnicity, gender, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or religion.
Parents at the Muslim-majority school argued that the lessons went against their religious beliefs. The protests continued, and debates about whether LGBTQ identities should be discussed in primary schools made national television.
