Education Links

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Quick Links: SENDCO | Further Information Documents and Policies

Education Links is a dual-sited Alternative Provision, based in Stratford and East Ham, offering small, nurturing and highly personalised education for pupils who are unable to thrive in mainstream settings.

We support children and young people with a wide range of needs, including SEND, SEMH, Autism and ADHD, as well as those experiencing barriers to learning linked to social, emotional or behavioural challenges. Our provision includes permanent placements for those with EHCP's, longer-term placements for pupils with complex needs and short-term interventions to help pupils stabilise, re-engage and, where appropriate, transition back into mainstream education.

Across both sites, learning is needs-led, flexible and holistic, combining academic progress with personal development, communication, wellbeing and preparation for adulthood. Our highly skilled staff work closely with pupils and families, and in partnership with external professionals, to ensure each young person receives the right level of support to succeed.

While both sites share our core values of nurture, inclusion and high expectations, each site offers a distinct provision tailored to the needs of its pupils. Further details about the curriculum and support available at each location can be found below in 'further information'.

Consultations to Education Links can be made to our SENCo, Mrs Saddaf Harris. For further information, advice or to explore suitability of placement for those with EHCP's, please contact Mrs Saddaf Harris: saddaf.harris@education-links.org

Referrals for shorter term placements can be made for those without EHCP's to the Associate Deputy Headteacher Ms Naomi Stevens: naomi.stevens@education-links.org
