The school was created as Highbury Secondary School after the re-organization of the local education system in 1972/3 when the former Highbury Avenue Secondary Modern School became Fisherton Manor Middle School. It remained a secondary school for boys from 11 to 16 years and by 1994 there were 530 on the school roll. In 1995 it was renamed Wyvern College and operates as a highly specialised technology college for boys in the third phase of Specialist Status. It teaches all National Curriculum subjects with emphasis on Science, Mathematics, Technology and Communications Technology. The school has one of the most up to date and extensively equipped Technology Centres in Wiltshire and there is a full partnership with Salisbury College, now named Wiltshire College Salisbury. There were 600 boys on the school roll in 1996 and in 2002 the number was 615, aged from 11 to 18. In 2003 the school assumed Voluntary Aided status and will operate as a Church of England school.
