Wolfreton School


Wolfreton School is a large state secondary school in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
It is situated to the west of Kingston upon Hull city centre. It is on Well Lane, Willerby. In 2012, 88% of pupils gained 5 A-C GCSEs, similar to Cottingham High School. During Ofsted's school inspection on 23 October 2013, Wolfreton School received "Good" ratings in all inspect sections, which has improved from the "Requires Improvement" rating in the previous inspection.

East Riding Consortium

Wolfreton has for over 17 years been a part of the East Riding Sixth Form Consortium along with Hessle High School and Cottingham High School, providing A Level studies. South Hunsley School was also part of the Consortium until their withdrawal in 2008.

Rushanje School

In recent years Wolfreton has built strong relations with Rushanje School in Mbarara, Uganda, with staff travelling over to help develop the school, and forming The Wolfreton Rushanje Community Partnership. A new Science and Humanities block built at Wolfreton's Upper School site was named 'Rushanje House' in honour of the relationship. As a reciprocal gesture, a new accommodation block at Rushanje School, funded partly with money raised at Wolfreton, was named 'Wolfreton House'.

New School

The school was split over two sites, the Lower School in Willerby and the Upper School in Kirk Ella. In 2014, it was announced that Wolfreton was going to demolish both sites and build a new multi-million pound site on the playing field of the Lower School. The new school opened in September 2016. Both sites closed and since then, both schools were demolished.

Wolfreton School Senate

Wolfreton School Senate is a school democratic institution, a partially elected body, comprising representatives from all year groups on a proportional basis. It is sometimes consulted by the school's Head Teacher and by its heads of faculties, and regularly plays a role in discussing and deciding on important issues, such as charity events and school policies.
