The school was converted to academy status on 1 October 2010. It was previously a community school administered by Kent County Council, however Goodwin Academy continues to coordinate with Kent County Council for admissions.

Goodwin Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils,[2] while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels, OCR Nationals and further BTECs.[3]

The school is sponsored by the Thinking Schools Academy Trust.[4]

Sponsors And Renaming

Goodwin Academy was previously rated Outstanding by Ofsted before dropping to Special Measures within three years. The SchoolsCompany Trust sponsored the school to help it improve and renamed it to SchoolsCompany Goodwin Academy from Castle Community College. However, due to internal failings at the Trust, the school became independent (SchoolsCompany was disbanded and was stripped of all four of the schools it sponsored) before shortly being sponsored by the Thinking Schools Academy Trust and renamed again to The Goodwin Academy.[5]
