The Levels School, which caters to a diverse group of pupils with various special educational needs and disabilities, is currently rated as requiring improvement overall. The school's curriculum lacks strength in some subjects due to inconsistencies in its design, affecting pupils' progress. However, despite these challenges, pupils enjoy their time at school and exhibit positive behaviors, with reports of rare bullying and a high level of support for their emotional well-being. The leadership team has been effective in creating an inclusive atmosphere but faces challenges in managing the demands of a rapidly growing student population.
