The Link School specialises in meeting the needs of students who have Speech, Language and Communication difficulties and provides placements for students from a wide range of local authorities.
This section provides key information including how the school spends the funding it receives, its policies and procedures, how students perform in exams and assessment, inspection information and the schools self-evaluation.
Our small special school values all our learners equally, recognising their individual strengths, barriers and aspirations. It provides a calm and nurturing environment in which to flourish.
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 PageOur Canine Assisted Learning (CAL) therapy sessions are dedicated to improving the mental health, emotional wellbeing and literacy of young people through professional canine support.
CAL at The Link School is delivered by Lisa Thompson and therapy dogs Mabel and Autumn. They bring so much joy to our school, they support students with strategies for staying calm, reducing anxiety and some students like to read with them.
Students enjoy stroking and playing with the dogs – enhancing their love of dogs or simply overcoming any fears they may have.
