"Excellent Care and Support"

I've been blown away by the care and support my child has received at Links Academy. The outreach team has really helped him to turn his behavior around and he's now thriving in his studies. The facilities are great too - the project pod is a fantastic resource for the kids.

"Room for Improvement"

We've had a mixed experience with Links Academy. On the positive side, the staff are very supportive and the facilities are great. However, I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on. Overall, it's been an okay experience, but I'm not sure if we'll be staying.

"Transformed My Child's Life"

I was initially skeptical about sending my child to an alternative school, but I'm so glad we made the decision to enroll him at Links Academy. The support team really understand what it takes to help kids with complex needs and they've done an amazing job of helping him to succeed. I couldn't be more grateful.
