Key Stage 1,2 and 3 — Shape, Space and Measures
SCIENCE:
Key Stages 1,2 and 3 — Forces and Motion.
Key Stage 3 — Energy Resources and Energy Transfer.
DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY:
Key Stage 1 to 4 — Materials and Components, Mechanisms, Structures, Products and Applications, Health and Safety, Vocabulary.
TECHNICAL DRAWING:
The mill gearing, sack hoist and artefacts make good subjects for all stages and abilities.

The mill is a living example of rural history through the ages, effectively illustrating the life and work of millers without light or power, only water power. It is also an example of continuity and change, working with treatment of cloth from local wool, sawing timber and grinding wheat to produce staple food.
GEOGRAPHY:
Key Stage 2 — Rivers
Key Stage 3 — Economic Activity and Environmental Issues.
ENGLISH:
Key Stages 1 to 4 — Observing and discussing the mill and its location, and the natural history around it. Chickens, ducks, insects, fish, birds and animals. Flora and fauna.
