Dear Links Families,
Happy New Year! We hope this message finds you refreshed and ready for an exciting start to 2024. As we embark on this new year together, we extend a warm welcome back to all our students and their families.
We would like to welcome our new families, who have just joined us and extend a warm welcome to our new student teachers, who will be joining Links team, for the Spring term.
It has been a busy but cold week at Links. Our Year 5 children completed a week of swimming, our new children in Nursery have had an exciting time making friends and our new clubs have started after school. Next week, the children in Reception and Year 2 will be going to Wimbledon Library to watch their previously cancelled panto. And Little Links Playgroup will be restarting on Tuesday 16th January at 9am.
Links Values Award
Our Links Value this half term in respect. Everyone at Links is valued for who they are, wherever they come from. We know that respect builds feelings of trust, safety and well-being so we create an atmosphere of mutual respect, where we value ourselves, each other and our environment.
