Strengths
- “Pupils are encouraged to ‘Dream Big’ throughout their time at Northfleet School for Girls.”

- “Pupils here feel safe, behave especially well, and treat staff and one another with high levels of respect.”
To improve
- “These are showing a positive difference, but some of this work needs further time to embed fully, for example in supporting the most able pupils to achieve to their full potential.”
- “However, this not as consistently sharp across all areas of the school.”
- “At times, some pupils, particularly those who are most able, are ready to move on to more demanding tasks which could stretch them further.”
