At The Mill we love sharing your child's progress. We do this through an online learning journey called Tapestry. Tapestry allows us at school, and you at home, to add photos, videos and descriptions of special moments along their learning journey. It also helps us bridge that home school gap so we can all work together to help the children achieve their full potential. Click on the link to find out more information.

Working alongside Tapestry, we also use an application called Marvellous Me. This is a 'good news app' that parents and teachers have. It allows teachers to send out notifications of the wonderful learning the children are doing at school. It also allows us to send little messages and reminders. It gives the children virtual badges for different activities which they can collect. The whole school uses this application so it follows them through the school, helping with transition and encouraging positive learning habits. Follow the link to learn more.

Here at The Mill we teach writing through Talk For Writing. It is an immersive way of teaching writing that encourages the children to get to know stories and use this knowledge to help them in their writing.
