A Year of Competition, Champions and House Glory!

What a year it has been! From the very first whistle on 17th September 2025, when our Year 7 boys kicked off the football season away at Cowes Enterprise College, to the final ball bowled by our U13 cricketers in July, Carisbrooke College has lived and breathed sport.

Across the year, our students have thrown themselves into an incredible 221 competitive fixtures, spread over 85 separate evenings of sport, proving that the Carisbrooke sporting spirit never takes a day off!

Whether it was scoring goals, smashing boundaries, sinking baskets, racing across muddy fields or scaling climbing walls, our students represented the College with determination, teamwork and pride.

🌟 PE Staff

A massive shout-out to our committed PE department, Miss Dewey, Mr Fleming, Mr Peake, Mrs Peake and Mr Phillips, who have given up 552 additional hours of coaching, planning and leading these fixtures and house competitions throughout the year.  Without them, these events simply would not have been possible. 

Here's to Another Amazing Year!

This season has been about far more than trophies and medals. It has been about commitment, resilience, teamwork and representing Carisbrooke College with pride.

Whether students competed once or one hundred times, every performance helped create an unforgettable year of sport.

Now the countdown begins...

Can D House defend their crown, or will another house take over the castle next year? Game on!
