Which Schools Use it?
&
When do we need to apply by?
Some state schools use the MAT to select some of their intake.
I have detailed the list of state schools below which currently use the MAT. This list is not exhaustive and the requirements change each year so please check the admissions details, admissions policy and current prospectus for your chosen school(s) for the most up to date information.
💡Top Tips
Each school has different application deadlines for the MAT so check the admissions information for your chosen school(s)
Ensure you’ve submitted the music aptitude application AND ALSO applied to the school (schools require both applications) by the deadlines set out by your chosen school(s)
Make sure to check if there are any other prerequisites that the school(s) has set out in their admissions policy in order to be considered for a music scholarship eg. catchment area/submission of school application/sitting/outcome of an academic school entrance exam.
Make sure that you check any proposed changes for selection criteria for admissions for your chosen school(s) for the year of your application.
