Background
History
The school was established in 1588 in the parish of St Nicholas by John Southland, a resident of New Romney. It was established as a school for the poor and endowed as a permanent institution by his will of 1610. The John Southland Trust scheme was renewed from 22 December 1916 and confirmed by parliament in 1923 "to go to poor children". From 7 September 1977 until 24 July 2015, the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway provided school trains to transport children to and from the Academy. The service was finally withdrawn due to falling usage. On 1 September 2007 the school's name was changed to the current name, The Marsh Academy.
