The No Outsiders programme was started by the school's gay assistant head teacher Andrew Moffat.

But parents at the school – who are predominantly Muslim - claim it is “sexualising” the children at the primary-age academy.

Speakers at the protest insisted they are not homophobic but said they do not believe homosexuality should be tutored in the classroom.

Razina Mahmood, 40, with two children at the school, said: “This is nothing but indoctrination of our children.
