Concord is an English boarding school and a vibrant international community in one. Over 80% of students are international and come from all around the world to study together in England. Dedicated to supporting able students flourish in all aspects of their development, Concord is academically selective and provides an ideal, safe and beautiful environment for inquisitive learners. From Concord, students progress to top universities worldwide whilst maintaining a global network of friends.
Set in 73 acres of beautifully maintained site in the English countryside, the school's excellent facilities for music, sports and boarding and social activities create a campus feel and with small classes, and tutoring, students individual development is nurtured.
“Excellent results give our students the ability to continue to access the very best opportunities when they move on to the next stage of their lives, but results alone are not what sets Concord apart. Concordians live and learn in a diverse, vibrant and truly international community supported by outstanding academic and pastoral staff. They have daily opportunities through our extensive co-curricular, sporting, arts, social and cultural programmes to develop hugely important skills in communication, teamwork and social responsibility. The result of this is that Concordians are overwhelmingly confident, empathetic, respectful and tolerant. Most importantly of all, it means they are happy: you will find many smiling faces here”. Principal Dr Michael Truss
Scholarship opportunities are available to the most academically able students.
What Makes Us Unique
Concord is an international community with over 40 nationalities of student and is a really special environment to study and live in. Students make lifelong friendships with people from all over the world. We have lots of opportunities to celebrate and share cultural events such as our annual international food fair, biennial cultural showcase and regular special celebrations. Our boarders all stay at weekends and many of them also stay on campus in the shorter half-term breaks for a range of activities.
Concord is an unusual combination, achieving academic success in a school with a broad whole-child focus. Last year's A Level results included 82% of grades at A*/A. We have no uniform and a dedication to encouraging our students to develop and pursue their own interests. Sport, music and an impressive super-curriculum allow students to pursue their dreams supported by dedicated staff. Students go on to top universities and gain places on competitive courses such as medicine, dentistry and veterinary science (29 students last year), architecture (including Cambridge and UCL) and computer science (including Cambridge and Manchester).
