About The Link Academy
The Link Academy was praised by Ofsted in May 2026 as an "ambitious and inclusive school" where "pupils flourish." Inspectors highlighted the academy’s calm, respectful, and supportive environment, noting that pupils feel safe, demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning, and benefit from strong pastoral care. The school achieved Strong judgements in attendance and behaviour, inclusion, leadership and governance, and personal development and wellbeing, with achievement, curriculum, and teaching meeting the Expected standard.
