Primary schools case studies

Primary linking is a powerful tool to contribute to community cohesion. SLN works with primary schools to promote community cohesion through a number of different linking models, suited to the needs of the schools involved.

Linking at primary level is an important time to promote community cohesion as it provides opportunities for children to build positive relationships and deepen their understanding of identity and diversity. Children involved have demonstrated improved confidence, self-esteem, aspiration, communication and critical thinking skills from an early age.

For example, collaboration with specialist language college Kings Norton Girls’ School has enabled French to be offered to pupils in all years.
