South West Independent Schools

It provides schools with organised fixture competition rather than club-league football. Current and recent participant examples include Clifton College, Sherborne School, Monmouth School, Bristol Grammar School, Malvern College, Millfield School and Bryanston School. These examples are not a fixed or exhaustive annual entry list.

School teams and age groups

The competition includes school teams at senior and youth level. Recent FA Full-Time records show fixtures involving first XIs and Under-16 teams, while participating schools also refer to Under-18 South West Independent Schools competition. The exact age-group programme and school entry can vary by academic year.

For pupils, the appropriate route into the competition is through their school’s sports department or football programme. School staff arrange entries, fixtures and team selection, so individual player enquiries should begin with the relevant school.
