Admissions Including those with disabilities

Carisbrooke College is a foundation school under the Island Innovation Trust. The College takes students of all abilities and aptitudes aged 11 – 19.

The sixth form is shared with our partner school in the Island Innovation Federation, Medina College.  The Governing Body is the admissions authority with responsibility for admissions and administrating appeals.

Parents who are considering applying for a place at Carisbrooke for their  child are warmly invited to visit the College; this is not a requirement of the admissions process. The  Admissions Team will be pleased to provide information by letter or telephone, or to meet with parents to discuss possible applications.
