At 124% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Sheffield 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. 83.3% of pupils at Sheffield Inclusion Centre are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%.
