Wolfreton is a part of the East Riding Sixth Form Consortium along with
Hessle High School ,South Hunsley School andCottingham High School , which has, for over 17 years, provided students with a wider range of subjects to choose from in their A Level studies.Rushanje School
In recent years Wolfreton has built strong relations with Rushanje School in
Mbarara ,Uganda , with staff travelling over to help develop the school. 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'.

Wolfreton is keen to encourage pupil democracy, with its most impressive democratic institution being the School Senate, formed by the school's head of PSHCE and A Level Politics teacher Ian Richardson. The Senate is a partially-elected body (around 80% - most Sixth Formers are appointed), comprising representatives from all year groups on a proportional basis. It is sometimes consulted by the school's Head Teacher and by its heads of faculties, and regularly plays a major role in discussing and deciding on important issues, like charity events and school policies.
