Arranging a visit to Goldwyn School
We would strongly encourage you to browse our website www.goldwyn.kent.sch.uk as it will also give you a good idea of what our school is like. However, no website can replace the experience of coming into the school and seeing us first-hand. We would warmly welcome you to visit our school under Covid safe guidance prior to shortlisting. We currently require students and staff to wear a mask when moving around the school, so we ask the same of all applicants unless they are exempt.
