30.09.22 Perfect end to the week
Hello everyone,
We have had another really good week in school and nursery and we ended the week with a visit from a theatre company. The children’s behaviour was amazing and, as you can imagine, they were very excited! The actors commented on how wonderful our children are, which makes us very proud. 🙂 We thought we’d share a few photos of the Jungle Book performance with you.
Dementia-friendly School
![](https://www.bictonschool.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Dementia-Friendly-logo-banner-600x216.png)
We are proud to be working in partnership with the Diocese of Lichfield and Holy Trinity Church, Bicton, in becoming a dementia-friendly school.
Our aim is to support all in our school community (pupils, staff and families):
- to be aware of dementia and to understand how to stay in step as patterns change through advancing dementia.
- affected by dementia to be welcomed, understood, respected and supported.
Our 2022-2023 School Action Plan:
1. Work with the local church to help develop awareness within our local community
2. Lead worship to inform our school community about dementia
3. Develop links with Isle Court Nursing Home
