Unlike most high schools, pupils join Shelley College at Year 9, aged 13, because there is a middle school system in the surrounding area. The school has two main feeder schools, Kirkburton Middle School, which received a Grade 3 'Requires Improvement' Ofsted report in April 2013, and Scissett Middle School, which received a Grade 2 'Good' Ofsted report in November 2013.
The school has departments for science and design technology. The sixth form has its own separate block, the Altitude Building, which holds a small café, study room (ICT suite), office and toilets.
In February 2013, the school opened a new dining area and pastoral offices, followed by a new assembly hall and library in May 2013.
The 2013 Ofsted inspection report awarded the school 'Outstanding', an overall grade 1.
