Northfleet Technology College
Gravesend, DA11 8BG · Kent · secondary school
69th of 99 secondary schools in Kent we can score, 103 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 2.1/10 against 541 of them, against 1.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 27.7 · 13 | 30% | 0.38 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.49 · 16 | 25% | 0.41 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 35.7 · 7 | 10% | 0.07 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted (inspected 2022-10). In 2024/25, 27.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 35.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.49 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Formula 1 club or the PQLI Programme, play basketball, take dry ski lessons, participate in the school production, and go on the NTC Ski trip. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 974 pupils in a school with 989 places, leaving 15 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their Attainment 8 score and the national median? What specific support is offered to help students improve their Progress 8 scores? How accessible is the after-school club for families with varying work schedules?
