"Fantastic school with amazing teachers!"

We've had our son at Wyvern for a year now and we're thoroughly impressed with the progress he's made. The teachers are so supportive and encouraging, and the facilities are fantastic. The values of the school - Connect, Community, Be Independent, Spread Happiness and Show Respect - really shine through in everything they do.

"Great school, but needs to work on communication"

My son has been at Wyvern for three years and we've seen him thrive. The teachers are excellent and the curriculum is engaging. However, I feel that communication between the school and parents could be better. We often don't get updates on what our child is doing or how they're progressing.

"Excellent school with amazing staff"

My child completed their time at Wyvern a few years ago and we couldn't be happier with the education they received. The teachers are all so dedicated and passionate about their work, and the facilities are top-notch. We're so grateful to have had our child at Wyvern.
