Dear Links Families,

This week, the children have been working hard and enjoying a variety of exciting trips that have enriched their learning experience. We’re grateful for the wonderful parents who volunteered their time to help make these outings possible. Your support means so much and plays a crucial role in enhancing our pupils’ adventures and education. Thank you for being such an integral part of our community!

Harvest Festival

Thank you to everyone who has generously donated already for our Harvest collection for Wimbledon Food bank. They will be coming in on Tuesday morning to collect our food items so any last minute contributions will be gratefully received.

Every day, people in the UK go hungry for many reasons but just a small box of food can make a big difference. Food Banks provide emergency food to people in crisis and their need is increasingly important during the winter period. If you or a family you know, would like more information on how to access this service, please contact the school on Office@links.merton.sch.uk. Please note that all information will be dealt with sensitively.
