Links News

Friday 4th July, 2025

Dear Links Families,

Yesterday’s Sports Day was a fantastic success! It was wonderful to see the children enjoying themselves and confidently showing off their amazing skills. We were especially impressed by their egg and spoon balancing talents and their brilliant hockey dribbling! The early years team made their sports day so much fun! We especially loved the obstacle course which included a tunnel (everyone’s favourite). Their team spirit and competitive energy truly made the day special.

A big thank you to all the parents who came along to cheer on their children — we always love it when you join us for events like these. Another thank you goes to all the parents who stayed to help walk the children back to school and support us when crossing the roads. Your support means so much!

Speaking of support…….come and support our school fair next Friday!!
