History
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 both sites were to be demolished and a new multi-million pound site would be built on the playing field of the Lower School. The new school opened in September 2016.
Houses
All students and staff are assigned to one of five houses: Nightingale, Owen, Rowntree, Tomlinson, Wilberforce
The names of the houses were selected by students and are made up of recognised individuals who reflect the Wolfreton School values: Excellence, Endeavour, Respect. [2]
The Consortium Trust
Wolfreton School & Sixth Form College is part of The Consortium Trust along with Hessle High School and Cottingham High School. Founded in 2017, the Trust provides a support network for local schools and Sixth Form colleges. [3]
Rushanje School, Uganda
