The ethos and aims of Wyvern College provide the framework within which the curriculum operates:
To achieve and maintain the highest standards of learning and personal responsibility within a caring and secure atmosphere, in which all members of the college team – students, staff, parents, governors and community – are valued.
The Wyvern College curriculum is built on the statutory requirements, together with additional experiences appropriate to the needs of our students. High-quality learning and teaching are the aims of the college. Students are challenge and constantly encouraged to reach their potential and, as such, high expectations are a prerequisite.
The attached policy sets out the principles and organisation of the College’s curriculum, which aims to prepare students for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. To access the Curriculum Policy, click here.
