What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
Wyvern School's 'three rings' values are at the core of every aspect of school life. These values are well known by pupils, and they proudly show them as they learn together and strive for success. The school has high standards for how pupils will behave and work. Pupils keenly focus on meeting the high expectations that adults have of what everyone can learn and achieve. Consequently, pupils are motivated and happy learners. They behave with high levels of respect for others and feel safe and well supported. The environment during break and lunchtimes is delightful. Staff integrate with pupils well and build positive and trusting relationships with them. The playground is well resourced with a range of equipment and a reading corner. Pupils share and play together extremely well. Pupils benefit from the excellent enrichment opportunities provided. Lunchtime clubs are inclusive for all pupils and well attended. Clubs such as science, mindfulness, drawing and dodgeball match the range of interests that pupils have. Pupils learn to be positive members of the wider community. They go on walks to learn about their local area as well as learning how to behave well when in the community. Leadership opportunities as school councillors or library and register monitors help pupils learn how to be responsible.
What the school should improve
- The school has not fully embedded all the changes made to the curriculum. This means that pupils are not yet learning as well as they could through the entire curriculum. The school should make sure that its pedagogical approaches are consistently implemented, and that staff have clarity on how they are assessing pupils across the entire curriculum.
- Persistent absence of the most vulnerable pupils remains too high. These pupils are not fully benefitting from all that school has to offer. The school should now further consider what additional strategies and support, both within and external to the school, that the most vulnerable families need to further improve attendance.
