Links News

Friday 25th March 2025

Dear Links Families,

Welcome back! We hope that you had a lovely holiday.

We would also like to welcome all of our new nursery children, who have joined us this week.

This morning, Bev Hendricks, the new Executive Director for Children, Lifelong Learning and Families (for Merton), visited us, along with Councillor Sally Kenny. They toured the school and were very impressed with how calm the children were, that they were so focused on their learning and they all looked happy. We are very proud of our children and staff at Links and we are thrilled that Bev and Sally got to see this too.

It was lovely to see so many of you cheering on the children this afternoon in our mini marathon. The children had a great time and each received a certificate and pin badge for taking part. We will add pictures of the mini marathon, in Links in Action.
