Parents like
- A potentially valuable option for families seeking specialist dyslexia-informed teaching without losing academic aspiration.
- The small classes, therapy input and explicit criteria around independence are likely to make the fit clearer than at some broader SEND settings.
- It seems most suited to parents who want a structured specialist school rather than mainstream with bolt-on support.
Admissions
The Levels School is a specialist day school for pupils with complex specific learning differences, including dyslexia-type profiles and speech, language and communication needs. Admissions begin with an enquiry and phone call, then move through clear published criteria about learning profile, independence and the suitability of the school's small-class, multisensory approach, with either private funding or local-authority support discussed as appropriate.
Scholarships
The Levels School does not promote a conventional scholarship or bursary scheme. Instead, its Published admissions information focuses on private fees, local-authority funding options and the question of whether the school can meet the student's needs well.
Bursaries
The Levels School does not clearly publish bursary details. As a specialist setting, funding may be handled through placements, private fee arrangements or individual support discussions rather than a standard published bursary scheme, so families should confirm the route directly with the school.
- The school does not publish a standard bursary entry route, so families should confirm whether funding is arranged through placements, private fees or case-by-case support.
- No standard public bursary tariff, remission percentage or fund size is published.
- Families should ask the school directly how funding is arranged, whether any private fee remission exists and who handles financial discussions.
Inspection snapshot
The Levels School was inspected by ISI in January 2025 and the published report states that all the relevant standards were met. The school pairs that update with a clear self-description as a specialist setting combining high-quality education with strong pastoral care.
