Wolfreton School and Sixth Form College
About Wolfreton School and Sixth Form College
Wolfreton School and Sixth Form College sits in the middle of the pack academically within the East Riding of Yorkshire, but its headline Progress 8 score of -0.26 falls below the local authority average of -0.13. That places the school 11th out of 19 similar state secondaries in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the LA table. The gap is modest — about one tenth of a grade per subject across eight GCSEs — but it does mean that, on average, pupils here make slightly less progress than their peers in neighbouring schools. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 44 is a solid benchmark, and 63.6 per cent of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths. However, only 39 per cent reached the higher grade 5 threshold in those core subjects, and just 15.2 per cent secured the English Baccalaureate at grade 5 or above. Wolfreton is a large, mixed 11-18 state school with 1,373 pupils on roll, and it has held a Good Ofsted rating since its last graded inspection in 2013, confirmed by an ungraded visit in 2021.
