About UsThe Link Secondary School is a non-maintained co-educational special school which provides education for 48 children, aged between 11 - 19. There is also a Link Primary School and the two schools maintain close liaison. Both schools are approved by the DfES and children are referred to the schools by Local Education Authorities.
The Link welcomes children who by initial assessment may reasonably be expected to respond to an open, caring environment, and would be experiencing a) speech, language and social communication difficulties: b) learning difficulties
They may also have emotional problems related to their learning difficulties.
The school is committed to equal opportunities. Close attention to each child's needs is made possible by an excellent staff/pupil ratio (1:5), established testing and assessment procedures, comprehensive curricular guidelines and regular reviews.
The school building is small and friendly. A new teaching block was completed in 2003 with 6 classrooms which are networked with interactive whiteboards, computers and furnished to a high standard. There are also specialist rooms for art, French, music, ICT, science, craft and home economics. There is a library and a well equipped hall for gymnastics and drama. |
