Values and Ethos

At Links Academy, we believe in the power of transformation. We are proud of our history of enabling young people to overcome challenges, rediscover their potential, and achieve success in education and beyond. With high aspirations and expectations for every member of our community, we aim to inspire, support, and empower our students to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Together, we inspire individuality, creativity, and inclusivity, fostering respect, care, and understanding for every person. We create a safe, supportive space where learning from mistakes is celebrated as an opportunity for growth and self-improvement. We empower our students to become resilient, respectful, and responsible individuals ready to embrace their future with confidence.

Many of our students arrive having faced barriers to success, including negative in education, which is why we prioritise rebuilding their confidence, helping them rediscover their capacity for learning and achievement.

Our work focuses on two key areas: restoring confidence and a love for learning and preparing for the future. We provide a nurturing environment where students feel safe, supported, and motivated to engage with their education. By stabilising and rebuilding their self-belief, we help them see what is possible. Our aim is to ensure that every student transitions from Links Academy ready to thrive, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and personal attributes needed for the next stage of education, employment, or training. We are proud to see so many of our students go on to succeed and return to share their achievements, demonstrating the long-term impact of their time with us.
