When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions ... A previously looked after child means such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after and those children who appear to the admission authority to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2Sibling attending NTC or Northfleet School for Girls — Where the child has a sibling attending Northfleet Technology College or Northfleet School for Girls at the time of entry.

4Nearness of child's home to school — we use the distance between the child’s permanent home address and the school, measured in a straight line using the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) address point. Distances are measured from a point defined as within the child’s home to a point defined as within the school as specified by NLPG. The same address point on the school site is used for everybody.

If two applications tie: In the event of there being more applicants than places remaining within a particular criterion, priority will be given to children who live closest to the school. This will be done using the distance between their main residence (main residence is their home address where they spend most of their time) and Northfleet Technology College, measured in a straight line using the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) address point as mentioned above.
