The Links Academy serves the needs of primary and secondary schools and their students in the St. Albans and Harpenden districts of Hertfordshire by offering an alternative to mainstream school for 11-17 year olds at the onsite academy and by the School’s Intervention and Support Team who work with staff and students in school. The aim of any intervention is to enable the young person to re-engage with education, build good relationships and have a successful school life.
