Leanne Fridd is Head of Primary, Safa Community School
Accepting Syrian students into the school is helping other students learn about empathy and understand others.
Our teachers are beginning to teach all the students about real world problems, ever since the school enrolled the Syrian students. Other parents and staff have also been inspired by the Syrian families' story and wanted to contribute to buying costumes for the children for World Book Day.
I think it has allowed our school community to really accept and understand others, but most importantly learn empathy. As a school, we have really focused on a developing a culture of learning within our school, but by welcoming in a family from such a diverse background, it has allowed us to remain grounded.
During our National Day celebration assembly, when the two senior boys (from one of the Syrian families) made speeches in Arabic, many staff members and families had tears in their eyes because we could see how far these children had come.
