A Darlington school has been chosen to host a national government curriculum review.

Wyvern Academy in Darlington, part of Consilium Academies, is one of nine schools across England to hold these reviews, examining the barriers that impact children's progress and aims to ensure that what students learn and how they are assessed is appropriate and effective. 

The review will take place at Wyvern Academy on Tuesday, November 26 from 1pm to 4pm. 

It is part of a series of regional events designed to gather input from experts, teachers, and employers to improve educational outcomes. 

Attendees will hear from Professor Becky Francis CBE, Chair of the Review, and other panel members.
