The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 43.8% of pupils at Spring Vale Primary 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 Wolverhampton.
