Empathy

We understand, listen and care.

At Longlands, relationships matter. Empathy means learning to understand the experiences, viewpoints and needs of other people. Children learn to listen carefully, communicate respectfully, show kindness and recognise that another person’s experience may be different from their own. Our curriculum gives pupils opportunities to encounter different lives, cultures, experiences and perspectives.

What this looks like at Longlands

• We listen carefully to others.
• We notice when someone may need help.
• We try to understand another point of view.
• We speak and act with kindness.
• We include others and respect difference.
