This Report could not have been written without the generous support and invaluable advice of a number of people. First, it is important to recognise the ongoing support of the Pears Foundation for The Linking Network, without whom it would not have been possible to develop the Schools Linking National Programme. Second, the moral and financial support of the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government and the Department for Education for Schools Linking and for this evaluation has been invaluable. Third, it is important to thank the local area linking facilitators who give their time to develop Schools Linking and who have engaged fully and enthusiastically with this evaluation project. Fourth the wisdom, commitment and tireless enthusiasm of The Linking Network Directors Meg Henry and Linda Cowie has been of pivotal importance, as has the support of rest of The Linking team and Board of Trustees. Thank you to you all for your help during this evaluation and in the writing of this final report.
