The last-distance figure is likely to remain tight if demand holds at this level.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 55.7% of pupils at Glenwood 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 Emsworth.
