The school contains around 1,300 pupils from years 7 to 13, and circa 80 teaching staff.[7][4] The school catchment area includes Oxford to the west of the railway station, Botley, Cumnor, Binsey, Wytham, and stretches west towards Appleton, Fyfield and Kingston Bagpuize.[8]

Previously a community school founded in 1958 as Matthew Arnold Secondary Modern, it was administered by Oxfordshire County Council. In August 2015 Matthew Arnold School converted to academy status and is now part of the Acer Trust.[4] The school continues to coordinate with Oxfordshire County Council for admissions.[9]
