Sixth Form Applications

Applications for Sixth Form are welcomed from current Matthew Arnold Year 11 students as well as external students from other schools.  

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.

If you are in Year 11 at Matthew Arnold you will have received an email with log in details for our online system with Applicaa.  Please contact Mrs Kinch at ckinch@maschool.org.uk if you have any issues with completing the application form.
