Wolfreton School and Language College is a large state secondary school in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

It is situated 5 miles to the west of Kingston upon Hull city centre. It is split into two sites, one in Willerby and one in Kirk Ella. The Lower School at Willerby consists of Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils, while the Upper School at Kirk Ella consists of Year 10, 11, 12 and 13 (years 12 and 13 are Sixth Form students).

In recent years the school has built strong relations with Rushanje School of Uganda, with staff travelling over to help develop the school. Part of the Upper School was subsequently named Rushanje House in its honour.

Wolfreton School Senate

Wolfreton is something of a leading light in school democracy. It's most impressive democratic institution is the School Senate, formed by the Head of PSHCE and Politics teacher Ian Richardson. The Senate is a fully-elected body, comprising representatives from all year groups. The Senate is often consulted by the School's Head Teacher and the Heads of faculties, and the senate often takes a major role in improvements for the School, such as lunchtime issues, charity events, and other school issues.
