The School
St Wilfrid's Catholic High School is a larger than average school near Featherstone, north east of Wakefield. It has grown in size since the last inspection and is planning for a further increase in pupil numbers. Pupils come from a variety of social backgrounds and are attracted from a wide area, including communities in neighbouring local authorities. The great majority of pupils are from White British backgrounds and few speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils who are eligible for free school meals is broadly in line with schools nationally. The number of pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities has increased and is approaching the national average. The school is a designated resource base for pupils with speech and language or communication difficulty. It has had specialist school status since 2000, when it became a Language College. In September 2006, the school was awarded a second specialism in vocational subjects. A new headteacher was appointed to the school in May 2006.
Excellent career development opportunities and access to a comprehensive programme of Personalised Professional Learning and Development.
An outstanding induction programme with supportive and dynamic staff
