View PageStudents at The Link School often choose to stay on after their Year 11 studies and join our Sixth Form in order to prepare for their adult lives. We also welcome students from other schools who meet our admission criteria.
View PageIn Curiosity, we embrace a holistic approach to learning, blending semi-formal education with project-based exploration and shared interests. We believe that children learn best through hands-on experiences and active engagement.
Emotional understanding and regulation are foundational to academic success. Before children can fully engage in academics, they need to develop these essential skills. We foster resilience without imposing high demands, helping children manage anxiety while learning to navigate expectations and embrace mistakes as part of the learning process.
English and Maths are taught in a unique, adaptable way, with activities designed to encourage learning while giving children a sense of control over how they access it. Our goal is to build strong foundations that support their ability to function in everyday society. When they leave school, we want them to be equipped with the skills to manage their anxieties in a controlled and effective manner.
In Curiosity, we listen to each child, tailoring lessons to meet their individual needs while aligning with national curriculum targets.
