How you will receive the points

Trinity College London provide details of all successful candidates to the Department of Education regulators so that points will be allocated to your school/college automatically. Check that you have registered your school or college accurately with the Arts Award team so that the points can be matched up correctly.

Points will only be allocated to candidates at the end of their compulsory schooling in year 11. Therefore, centres that offer the qualification in earlier years will not receive the appropriate points until year 11.
