Scholes (Elmet) Primary is a ‘one and a half form entry’ school. This means we take up to 45 pupils each year. Classes are limited to a maximum of 30 children in Reception, Year 1 and 2 (like all schools), and classes in Years 3 to 6 are usually around this size, too.
Key information about the day-to-day running of Scholes (Elmet) Primary School can be found here – everything from the price of a school dinner to important dates in the school year. If there remains something that you still need to know, we’re always happy to answer any questions you may have – call in or contact us.

Straw instruments.
In Year 3/4, we’ve been learning about how sounds are made from vibrations. On Friday, we made simple musical instruments out of straws.
All you need is: a straw, a scissors and a big breath. Just make a small, triangular cut at the top of one end of the straw. You can cut holes to change the pitch of the sound – a bit like a recorder.
Our own straw orchestra!
