Shelley First School is a small, village Primary school set within a semi-rural part of Huddersfield. There are currently 194 pupils on roll, divided into 7 classes some of which are mixed.

We are a member of the ‘Mast Academy Trust’, comprising Scissett Middle School, Birdsedge First School, Scholes Junior and Infant School (Holmfirth) and Kirkburton Middle School. We are also a part of the very successful three-tier Shelley Pyramid of schools. Most pupils come to us from the surrounding village of Shelley and then transfer to Kirkburton Middle School at the end of Year 5. Close links exist at all levels between schools throughout the pyramid, ensuring continuity, progression and effective transfer between phases.
