Football is the largest and most popular Station at Westminster. Close to 250 pupils are involved, with a full schedule of fixtures for both boys and girls. The Station takes place primarily at Vincent Square, with additional astroturf facilities utilised at Vauxhall, Battersea and Kennington. The bulk of the season runs over the course of the Play and Lent Terms, but recent years have seen football continue for the girls’ squad in the Election Term.

Westminster School has a long and rich history in the sport, dating back to the 19th century. We were involved in the establishment of the first FA guidelines and boasted international players during the 1900s. The School is a full member of ISFA (Independent Schools’ Football Association) and competes in the ISFA U18 and U15 Cup tournaments, as well as entering ESFA (English Schools' Football Association) cup competitions across all age groups.

Currently, the Station runs eleven full teams: 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th XIs and A & B teams at U16, U15 and U14 age groups for the boys, as well as a girls’ 1st XI. Pupils are instructed by eight external coaches as well as by a number of experienced Common Room staff.

The fixture list includes the major football-playing independent schools within appropriate geographical range. The 1st XI play about 25 matches per season. In addition to the Cup competitions mentioned above, the 1st and 2nd XIs play in the London Independent Schools’ Cup in the Lent Term. There are also four House Competitions – Senior 11-a-sides, Senior 6-a-sides, Girls’ 5-a-sides and Junior 6-a-sides – which are held each season.

Westminster Football has enjoyed considerable success in recent years. The School has provided a number of players to ISFA U18, U16, U15 and U14 national teams, and to ISFA U18 and U16 regional representative teams also - including in 2017, a Westminster pupil playing for the first time for the England Independent Schools’ U18 Girls’ side.
