Carshalton Boys Sports College (formerly Carshalton High School for Boys) is an academy school that educates around 1200 boys aged 11–19 years old. It is situated in the middle of the St Helier Housing Estate within the boundaries of Carshalton, London Borough of Sutton, England.[1] In September 2003, the school was designated as a specialist sports college.[2] As of 2011, the school has converted to academy status, but continues to have sport as a specialism. GCSE results have consistently been increasingly dramatically since 2009, although still below the national average. In addition, the school is rated 'Good' by OFSTED.
