Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

The Levett School excels at creating a happy, supportive environment where pupils with different needs thrive. Staff work closely with families to understand each pupil and provide tailored support. The school goes beyond the classroom with enriching trips and activities that help pupils understand the wider world and develop strong social skills.

Key Strengths

  • Strong focus on pupil wellbeing and happiness with caring staff providing personal and academic support
  • Effective identification and support for pupils with SEND, with a broad accessible curriculum
  • Daily reading support and rich reading offer helping all pupils develop literacy skills
  • Well-planned career advice throughout key stages to help pupils make informed choices
  • Trips and real-world experiences (theatre visits, nature walks, camping) that bring learning to life

Areas for Improvement

  • Key stage 3 curriculum not consistently delivered as intended, meaning some pupils do not secure essential knowledge
  • Inconsistent staff application of behaviour management strategies for low-level disruption, which can escalate problems
  • Need for clearer guidance to all staff on supporting individual pupils displaying disruptive behaviour

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with school leaders prioritizing pupil safety and wellbeing.

Extracurricular Activities

Theatre visits, park visits, local restaurant visits, overnight camping, nature walks, sports, reading, games, charity fundraising
