Wollaston is larger than the average-sized secondary school. Nearly all students are White British. The proportion of students eligible for the pupil premium is about half the national average. The pupil premium is funding provided to support students known to be eligible for free school meals and those in local authority care. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is below average. The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is much lower than average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress. Almost all students are educated on-site. This includes the Minett Construction course and the Level Two vehicle maintenance and repair course underwritten by the Institute of the Motor Industry. Students have access to a course in fish husbandry off-site for part of the school week. Students also attend courses to meet their pastoral needs at the Rushmere Academy and through the local authority’s hospital and outreach programme.
