Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it. In 2026 the school was not oversubscribed, so no distance limit applied.

School overview

Wyvern College is a secondary school serving Eastleigh, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 1,331 pupils aged 11 to 16 on roll. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 44.8, broadly in line with the national average of 46. That is down 5.6 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

44% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, in line with the national average of about 45%. 67% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Wyvern College was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 242 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 5.99 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. After Year 11, 94% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 8.2%. There are about 16.9 pupils per teacher. Wyvern College does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
