Joining Us

At The Mill, we are proud to say that every new starter receives a warm, personal welcome from our key staff. Whether you are joining us as a Reception pupil aged 4 or moving into the area and starting in Year 5, we ensure you and your family feel supported from the very beginning.

One of the ways we do this is through a friendly home visit. Our Pastoral Lead, Mrs Crockford, together with one of our Teaching Assistants, Mrs Atkin, will visit you and your child either just before or shortly after your first day. During this visit, they will share key information about daily life at The Mill and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

We know that many “little things” can come up when starting a new school, and we want to make the whole process as smooth and positive as possible. Our aim is for every child – and every family – to feel happy, settled and ready to thrive at The Mill.

If you are interested in joining our school, we recommend contacting the school office to arrange a tour. This is the best way to experience our welcoming atmosphere, meet our staff, and see our facilities. Following your visit, we will guide you through the next steps in applying for a place and support you throughout the process.
