At 144% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Swindon allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 42.3% of pupils at Crowdys Hill School are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Swindon.
