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

Wolfreton School staff travel over to help develop Rushanje School in Mbarara, Uganda, and form The Wolfreton Rushanje Community Partnership.^[4] A new Science and Humanities block built at Wolfreton's Upper School site was named 'Rushanje House' in honour of the relationship.^[5]
