Teaching and Learning

At The Mill, we believe that good teaching enables students to make good progress every lesson, everyday and every year. Making good progress leads to good outcomes enabling our students to be successful in the next stage of their lives.  

We support our staff to deliver the best they can every lesson. Through tailored continous professional development and reflective practices we hace created our very own teaching and learning booklet which can be found below.

Our TKAT pyramid represents an evidence informed framework for effective teaching that uses a trust wide common language. This language aligns with the DFE golden thread.

We recognise the holistic view of a school including the fundamental foundations that need to be embedded before effective teaching can take place. The red layers of the teaching pyramid represent these foundations. We further believe that this model enables all teachers to teach and most importantly all students to learn.

You can explore our framework further through our teaching and learning curriculum.
