28th September 2026 - Carshalton Athletic Football Club Visit
Carshalton Athletic has been a local community football club for many years offering children and young people through all ages the opportunity to play football, become part of a team and provide support through the ranks to academy and professional playing. The Limes College students were greeted by Vicky, Director of Education who invited us to take a tour of the facilities, participate in a classroom information session, and take part in drills and training on the first team pitch. The information session highlighted what a typical day looks like, some of the topics covered in the sport qualification being offered, expectations, future career pathways, time on the pitch Vs time in the classroom and enrichment such as employability, mentoring, job search, and well-being etc. The students enjoyed this encounter and were provided with relevant information supporting their decisions about next steps. Last year, 57% of the cohort who graduated from Carshalton Athletic went on to university to take up further study, in their preferred fields.
