About
School overview

A message from the Principal - Mrs E Edwards-Morgan (2025) I am delighted to welcome your child as a new learner in September 2025 at The Link Academy, part of Dudley Academies Trust. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved at The Link Academy so far. Our amazing Ofsted report in 2022 raised us by two grades and rated us as Good across the board. Our academy is above the national average for the progress made by learners during their time at school and above average for Dudley. In fact, The Link is the most improved secondary school in the Borough for Progress. Since 2019 when we joined Dudley Academies Trust, The Link has also increased the number of learners passing Maths and English at Grade 5 or above by 9%. Please refer to my welcome letter attached to the bottom of this website for further details. I very much look forward to meeting you and your child in the near future. Welcome from the Chief Executive Officer - Ms J Higgins (2025)
