Wolfreton School is a large state secondary school in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
It is situated 5 miles (8 km) to the west of Kingston upon Hull city centre. It is on Well Lane, Willerby.(53°44′52″N 0°26′44″W / 53.747730°N 0.445480°W).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" (Grade 2) ratings in all inspect sections, which has improved from the "Requires Improvement" rating in the previous inspection.
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.
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.
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'.
