Neglectful and awful
I absolutely cannot with the link it's awful. Please please don't send your child here it's not a nice place. Most teachers don't seem to care and only care reputation and the principal is always about "do better" this and that and that's she's not lowering her expectations. As a previous student here it's awful the amount of times I have broke down in this school because the amount of stress the teachers put on you and the upgrade for year elevens is exhausting I have developed mental health problems from stress I cannot keep up with it. There are a few angel teachers in this school such as Miss thacker and Miss Baker but half the pe teachers are so rude and always have a snobby comeback if you don't have your own kit or you want to talk about a problem. They always favour the popular kids who are usually always the loudest and meanest. They are about self expression yet the moment you do it's taken off youm they even banned jumpers cuz the principal was about correct uniform and shit it's so bad please don't send kids here
The shit academy
I would not recommend the link academy it breaks your children and they don't learn or get the support they need, they ignore the students that need help and help the put people in solitude education for petty reasons and students are forced to attend upgrade in Year 11 with no exceptions they damage your children I would never recommend this school to anyone if you think about sending your child here don't they put to much pressure on students more than an adult. This school doesn't recognise whem student are struggling or disabilities they may have the favour the miss behaving students

The link academy
THE teachers dont help they give more stress. They are so fake. They will exclude you from school if u do somthing they wont even investigate what happend. Dont 't send your children here very bad school. They fake it so much when ofsted come that's why they got a good from ofsted. I moved to the link academy from walsall Blue coat academy . I would recommend going to blue coat academy the teachers care about u a lot. I miss them if I had a choice I would go back there.
Shit school link academy
I wouldn’t recommend this school poor education lack of help always get shouted at for no reason I think the 2 hour and 1 hour detention are pathetic and u get excluded sent to a different school for nothing it could be for the pettiest reason ever and I wouldn’t send ur kids there they don’t help u they be so fake when ofstead come and it’s so unreal
Neglected and let down at this school
Didn’t notice my child had learning difficulties, had to have test done for this else where total neglect to my child. Teachers don’t care about students who need extra help as makes there lives more difficult in my opinion easier to blame the child then there own incompetence.
a very bad school
overall the school is alright but there really isn’t much freedom. for example there are toilets by the main dinner hall boys and girls opposite each other but
it’s literally out in the open. each toilet has stalls which doors are either broken or don’t close but literally anyone can come in, there should be a door. secondly, the teachers are always giving out lines there are only some teachers that actually give out merits when you need them. another thing is is you’re inside during break or lunch (anywhere not inside the dinner hall) you get an hour detention at the end of the day and i think it’s quite stupid. obviously there are lots of other things wrong with this school but it’ll take too long to write. i wouldn’t recommend going here. good luck.

The Love at the Link
I'm in year eleven now at this school and have been here since year Severn since the school has changed from Hilcrest to The Link Academy things have improved quiet a bit the teachers are more supportive and there is less discrimination with people and religions there are also a lot of funding in this school and I am proud to be known as a member of The Link Academy.

Vast improvements
Was in year 11 when this school became the link and it is far better than when it was hillcrest!
Head teacher is lovely and the school has lots of funding right now so the best time to go!

Hell on earth
Do not send your son or daughter here. It is a place where bullying and harassment is not looked upon but a hair grade too short means a day in what I can call solitary confinement.
