Wyvern School continues to demonstrate strong performance overall, maintaining its status as a good school. The school's core values are well integrated into daily life, promoting a respectful and supportive environment where students thrive and feel safe. Enrichment opportunities are abundant, allowing for a well-rounded educational experience that fosters community involvement and personal development among students. The curriculum is ambitious and sequenced effectively, ensuring that foundational knowledge is built solidly from early years through to Year 2. However, challenges remain, particularly with the full embedding of curriculum changes. While teaching is generally effective, inconsistencies in assessment practices mean that some students may not fully capitalize on learning opportunities. Attendance continues to improve, but persistent absence among vulnerable pupils is elevated and requires further strategic intervention to enhance their engagement with the school community. Overall, Wyvern School has many strengths to build upon but also faces key areas needing attention to ensure all students achieve their full potential.
