Rani is a refugee form Iraq and was bullied in his first few days at school until Jack met him and they became friends.
Jack said, "He was in a corner by himself so I thought, 'he needs a friend.' So I thought I'll go up to him and ask him, 'How are you? Where are you from?'"
"He said Syria and I took a step back because on the TV, on the radio you hear bad things about it. But then I said, 'come and join us, come and join our group,' and he did and here we are."
Jack and Rani appeared on the Ch4 programme,"Educating Greater Manchester" and since then have been on This Morning to talk about their friendship. They have received a huge amount of praise on twitter and social media; one tweet said, "The whole world could learn something from Jack."
Another said, "Every school class everywhere needs a Jack."
Jack's Head Teacher said, "We should all be more like Jack."
