Wolfreton From the Headteacher

Welcome to Wolfreton School and Language College. Wolfreton is the largest 11-18 community secondary school in the East Riding of Yorkshire LEA with 2100 pupils on roll.

In year 11 in 2007 72% of our pupils achieved 5 or more A* - C grade GCSEs. We also provide a range of vocational courses and college link courses for pupils in years 10 and 11. After year 11 most of our pupils go into the Sixth Form. Wolfreton has the largest Sixth Form in the East Riding with over 350 students studying a wide range of advanced AS (year 12) and A2 courses (year 13) Wolfreton is also part of the East Riding Sixth Form Consortium of Hessle, South Hunsley, Cottingham and Wolfreton Schools which has successfully co-operated together for 17 years to provide a very large range of subject choices at sixth form for our students. After AS and A2 examinations 75% of our Sixth Form students go on to university and other higher education colleges.

Wolfreton provides an excellent education and the widest possible choice within available resources. We are proud of Wolfretons excellent record of academic and sporting success which prepares our students for their future lives and careers. I am confident that your child will have every opportunity to succeed at Wolfreton.

Wolfreton has been recognised as an Investor in People for the high standard of its staff development and communications. We are traditional enough to insist on high standards of school dress and behaviour. We are progressive enough to believe that pupils learn better when they are helped to take responsibility for their own learning and to work hard to achieve their full potential. Wolfreton teachers are known for their caring approach with pupils of all abilities and give a great amount of time to extra-curricular activities. Annually, pupils take part in over 250 teams, clubs and events.

• Potential - to help pupils and staff fulfil their own potential, to recognise achievement in all its forms, and to build self-confidence, motivation,and commitment.

Numeracy is a strand of the school's academic activity that runs through the entire curriculum irrespective of the faculty. All curricular areas contribute to the theme of numeracy and devote part of their teaching to delivering practise, ideas and knowledge of number. This dimension of our work receives regular attention from working groups under the direction of the Numeracy Coordinator.
