"Excellent School with Great Facilities"

I'm so glad we chose Wyvern Academy for my daughter. The facilities are fantastic, especially the sports hall and outdoor spaces. The school's values of excellence, respect, and kindness really shine through in the way the staff and students interact with each other. My daughter loves attending Wyvern and I feel confident that she's receiving a great education.

"Wonderful School with a Great Community"

We were so impressed with Wyvern Academy during our time there. The school's community is incredibly supportive and the staff are passionate about helping students succeed. My son thrived at Wyvern and I have no hesitation in recommending the school to anyone. The solar panel investment is also a great initiative - it's wonderful to see the school taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint.

"Good School but Room for Improvement"

We're generally happy with our experience at Wyvern Academy, but there are a few areas where the school could improve. The primary transition liaison team was very helpful in making our daughter's transition to secondary school easier, but we've found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy at times. The school's values and programs are good, but we think there could be more opportunities for parental involvement.
