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. 31.3% of pupils at Feversham Girls' Secondary Academy are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Bradford.
