Extracurricular
We believe in the power of an enriching extracurricular programme to help our students develop holistically. We offer a range of extracurricular activities, including a daily Book Club, after-school clubs, and educational trips and visits.
Trips & Visits
Due to COVID-19, we will be avoiding educational trips and visits for the academic year 2021-2022. This may change as the situation regarding COVID-19 progresses. In the future, we will offer a variety of trips and visits, both locally and further afield, for each year group.
Pictures of previous trips can be seen below.
After-School Clubs
After-school clubs are on offer to students between 3.30 - 4.15pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday for KS2 and Monday through Thursday for KS3 and 4. We offer a rich variety of extracurricular activities, including creative and performing arts, games and sport. Study rooms are also available for KS4 students.
All clubs are optional. We are a family-orientated school and as such advocate time for students to have down time at home with their families. We are aware that many of our students are vulnerable and anxious about their education. Close contact with home is a support for many of them.
Year 10 and 11 are encouraged to remain in school to complete private study as well as extracurricular activities in the arts, music, sport etc. However, we recognise the need for flexibility and will tailor bespoke timetables to suit the individual.
Book Club
Book Club is scheduled at the same time for the whole school every day and is built into the school day. At The Levels School, we recognise creativity as one of the superpowers of dyslexia. We want to fire our students' imagination and promote a lifelong love of learning. During Book Club, students get an opportunity to engage with a diverse range of stories in a range of ways. We use audiobooks, group reading, film clips, discussions and storyboards to empower all children to be able to access books.
