History
The school opened in 1972 as Highbury Secondary School, as a replacement for Highbury Avenue secondary modern school which was in a 1930s building at Highbury Avenue, Fisherton Anger, Salisbury. By 1994 there were 530 on the school roll.[2][3]
In 1995, the school was renamed Wyvern College. Under the specialist schools programme of the 1990s and 2000s it was a Technology College, teaching all subjects but with emphasis on Science, Mathematics, Technology and Communications Technology; it operated in partnership with Wiltshire College Salisbury.[3]
In 2003 the school assumed Voluntary Aided status and became a Church of England school. In April 2017, Wyvern College converted to academy status and joined the adjacent St Edmund's Girls' School in the Magna Learning Partnership, a multi-academy trust.[2] From September 2018 the two schools operated as a single mixed school called Wyvern St Edmunds, pooling their leadership, staff and buildings, although retaining their separate legal identities.[2]
In September 2022 the two schools formally and legally amalgamated as Wyvern St Edmund's.[4]
