Description

Northfleet Technology College is a non-selective boys 11-18 secondary school of approaching 1000 pupils in Gravesend, Kent. [1] This is a non-selective secondary school in an area where 23% students are selected for grammar school places. It has specialist technology status in 2012. It is located in a new building that was opened in 2010. Sixth form provision is made in partnership with other schools under the umbrella of the Gravesham 14−19 consortium. The proportions of students who receive support at school action plus, or who have a statement of educational needs, is well above average. The proportion of students known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium grant (additional government funding for students in local authority care or receiving free school meals) is above the national average. Most students are from White British backgrounds, in a multi-cultural area. Behaviour of pupils has continued to decrease in recent years with the absence of a robust behaviour policy supporting staff in being able to manage behaviour effectively. [2] The school identify the most able pupils as soon as they start at the school and teachers monitor the progress of these pupils regularly. Teachers expect all of the most able pupils to tackle challenging work :these pupils make rapid progress. Leaders are successfully promoting the value of humanities and languages with pupils and parents. Staff retention is low with many long serving teachers having left the school since a new headteacher was appointed in 2022. [3]
