Welcome to Wyvern

An introduction from our Headteacher:

 It is my pleasure to welcome you to our school website.

If we haven’t already welcomed you to our school then you will find a glimpse of what we have to offer here on our website.

The Wyvern School is an ever improving Foundation Special School for pupils aged 3- 19 with profound, severe and complex learning needs from Ashford and the surrounding area.

We are located on a beautiful 15-acre site in Ashford, Kent with satellite provisions at Great Chart Primary School and Towers School.

We offer a pathways approach to our curriculum as well as a personalised approach to each child’s learning through their EHCP. Our pathways have their own curriculum and strategies to support learning that are right for those groups of learners. No matter which pathway a child or young person learns within our dedicated staff always work jointly with parents and careers to get the best for each child, ensuring they are well prepared for adult life.

We have lots of facilities to support learning here at Wyvern, these include our forest school, hydrotherapy pool, soft play room, sensory room, Rebound therapy trampolines (indoor and outdoor), multi-use games area and a huge field which is accessible for everyone. Arts opportunities are central to the experience of all of our children and young people, we achieved Platinum Arts Mark 2021 and 2024.

We are located right next door to the Rainbow Centre. This houses the children with disabilities social services teams and health professionals including paediatricians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists, which allows us to work closely together in a cohesive way.

Our specialist observation and assessment nursery is located within the Rainbow Centre.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.

Warm regards,

Penny Bullen
