Freeruning wolfreton school
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.
Old School
There used to be a Lower School and an Upper School, on Carr Lane in Willerby and on South Ella Way in Kirk Ella. Most of the Lower School has been demolished.
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 knock both sites down and build a new multi million pound site on the playing field of the Lower School. Both sites closed, the Lower School is being demolished at this point in time, the new school opened in September 2016, and the Upper School will be demolished at a later date, while the project will be officially complete in 2017.
Wolfreton School Senate
Wolfreton School Senate is a school democratic institution, a partially elected body (around 80% - most Sixth Formers are appointed), 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.
