Central Independent Schools League

Current participants include Abingdon School, Gordon’s, Magdalen College School, Marlborough College, Radley College, Reading Blue Coat, St Edward’s Oxford, The Oratory and Wellington College. These examples reflect the current line-up rather than an exhaustive membership list.

School team competition

The league includes 1st XI football and competition for other school sides, including 2nd and 3rd XIs. Its main season is scheduled across the Lent term, typically from January to March, allowing schools to run their usual football programmes alongside the league calendar.

As an ISFA-approved competition, the Central Independent Schools League forms part of the independent-schools football network. Pupils should speak to their school’s sports department about team selection and current fixtures.
