At Mill House School, we embrace our DEAR reading approach, where teachers read aloud while students actively follow along. This shared experience not only fosters a love of reading but also encourages engagement and comprehension. Our carefully chosen books, including Noughts and Crosses, Lord of the Flies, and Wonder, reflect our commitment to promoting SMSC (spiritual, moral, social, and cultural) development and British values. These thought-provoking stories spark meaningful discussions and inspire our students to explore important themes of equality, empathy, and resilience.
