Headteacher’s welcome

Welcome to The Link School website

I am delighted to be able to welcome you to the Link School and introduce myself as the Head Teacher. Our school is a Good School, as judged by Ofsted. In addition, are in Inclusion Quality Mark Centre of Excellence, hold the Anti-Bullying Platinum Award whilst have achieved Investors in Careers Award. This demonstrates our continued commitment to ensuring our children and young people are at the heart of what we do.

Our GCSE results shown continuous improvement with 85% of pupils achieving a GCSE English qualification and 78% of pupils achieving a GCSE Maths qualification. We have increased the number of pupils who have left the school with five or more GCSE qualifications and offer a broad and ambitious curriculum.

The Link School is an alternative learning provider working with young learners and their families across the City of Sunderland.  We support a wide and diverse community that we feel proud to consider our ‘Link School Family’.

There are two schools; The Link School, Springwell Dene which works with learners across Key Stage 1,  2 and 3 and The Link School, Pallion, which provides education for learners at Key Stage 4. In addition, we also run two assessment hubs at Springwell Dene and Oxclose Academy where we support schools across Sunderland to ensure that all children and young people have access to the right provision to meet their own individual needs.

I feel incredibly proud to be the Head Teacher of The Link School. My priority as Head Teacher is to ensure the Link School continues to grow on its journey to becoming outstanding. This can only happen with you and your support. Being a mum of two girls, I am very much aware of the importance of family and I really do believe you and your children, as part of our link school family have the strength and passion to ensure that this happens together.

As the Head teacher of the school, I am looking forward to getting to know you and your children throughout their time at the school, whilst ensuring  children are safe, happy and achieving well whilst they are in our care.
