At 112% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Stoke-on-Trent allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 36% of pupils at Eaton Park Academy are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Stoke-on-Trent.
