Discover the opportunities that await you at Matthew Arnold; whether you are interested in sciences, languages, humanities or art, we have something for everyone.
Our Sixth Form Open Evening will be held on Tuesday 12th January 2027 from 5.30pm - 7.30pm. TIckets will be available to book from the start of November.
Applications for Sixth Form in September 2027 are welcome from current Matthew Arnold Year 11 students as well as external students from other schools. Sixth Form applications open on 12th January 2027 and further details on how to apply will be available in January.
For entry into Sixth Form we use a system based on a students' APS (average point score) from their GCSE results to enable students to select the most appropriate subjects at A-Level. Our minimum entry requirements, in order to begin A-Level's, are that students achieve at least five GCSEs at grade 4 or above including English language and mathematics at a grade 4 and students must also meet the APS of their chosen subject.
We expect our students to have a positive attitude to study, high attendance and to meet the school’s expectations. In return, we will provide a stimulating, mature and friendly environment in which students can thrive and contribute to the life of the whole school.
