Academically, Concord blends the rigour of GCSEs and A-Levels with support programs such as critical thinking workshops, extended research projects (EPQ), and tailored guidance for Oxbridge and medical school applicants. EAL assistance is provided in small groups to help international students integrate smoothly into the curriculum .
Most students (~85%) are full boarders, living in comfortable houses with single or twin rooms akin to university-style halls. Three main boarding houses are supervised by house tutors, housemasters, and a 24/7 on-site medical centre. Concord fosters a “joyful learning” ethos—emphasizing kindness, respect, and resilience—backed by a personalized pastoral structure designed to support students academically, socially, and emotionally .
Day students also play a vital role in College life. They enjoy the full use of facilities, meals, clubs, and trips—ensuring they are fully integrated into the community .
Beyond exams, Concord offers a rich programme:
The campus blends heritage and modernity: the original Acton Burnell Hall sits beside a new 22-laboratory science centre with specialist facilities. There are also fully equipped art studios, music rooms, performance spaces, sports halls, all-weather pitches, and a high ropes course. Class sizes are kept small (average 12 pupils), ensuring personalized attention.
Concord College nurtures a truly global environment. With pupils from 40 nationalities, the school promotes intercultural understanding, honouring its Latin motto “Concord” (harmony). Numerous international partnerships, university counselling, and career guidance reflect its global outlook.
The admissions process includes entrance exams, interviews, and an assessment of potential. With approximately four applications per place, Concord remains academically selective. Scholarships and bursaries, including the Anthony Morris Scholarship, are available to recognize and support gifted students.
