The Link Secondary School

"Together we make a stronger Link"

Welcome to All Parents

Welcome to our section for Parents, whether you are one of our ‘Link’ parents or just browsing our website.

We hope you’ll find this page useful, firstly to provide you with online access to school information such as term dates, newsletters, prospectuses and downloadable forms. Secondly, if you’ve been browsing the net for information about Speech and Language provision or aspects of ASD, please do take a look at our ‘useful links for parents’ area. We’ve provided links to a number of specialist sites and resources that can support Parents with information and advice on a range of issues from how to apply for Disability Living Allowances to support groups for autism.

We’re often asked by parents how they can support their children’s’ learning at home. We take the view that ‘homework’ should reflect not only a pupil’s academic targets but also their social and personal development.  For many of our pupils their academic skills are best developed in the context of developing those important independent living skills. We have started to put together what we think are some useful resources to support the work of parents, and of course your children.

Our parents at The Link are particularly active with a thriving and committed parents group, The Link Association, who meet regularly, not only to fundraise but also for fun, games and support. For further details do follow the link to their page.

We hope you’ll find these links useful and if you have any useful web resources that you think we should know about please contact us and we’ll include them in our site. We’d love to hear from you!
