Wyvern College is a smaller than average boys’ secondary school. Most students are of White British heritage and almost all speak English as their first language. The proportion of students eligible for the pupil premium (additional government funding) is below the national average. The proportion of disabled students and those with special educational needs supported at school action is below that found nationally. The proportion of students supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is similar to the national average. A few students attend alternative provision for part of their education at Avon Valley College. The school’s GCSE results meet the government’s floor standard, which sets the minimum levels expected for students’ attainment and progress. The school shares its site with two other secondary schools; St Edmund’s and St Joseph’s. These schools work together to offer joint provision at Key Stage 4 for the majority of students in Year 11. The school has a specialism in technology which includes engineering. Funding has been secured for a major rebuild of the school.
