Emley First School
Key Stage 2 performance
Emley First School is a first school for pupils aged 4–10. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.
This applies to every first school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.
Getting a place
Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this
The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it. In 2026 the school was not oversubscribed, so no distance limit applied.
Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Emley First School
Emley First School is a primary school in Huddersfield, Kirklees, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 130 pupils aged 4 to 10 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted.
Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Emley First School their first choice was offered one of its 25 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 5.43 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 3.9%. There are about 20.2 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
