Day fees and admissions information

Concord College

  • Residential trips which form part of the curriculum including our Outdoor Education trips for Form 3, Form 4 and Sixth Form (see Trips) and GCSE and A Level course required field trips (such as the Form 5 Geography residential trip)

Bursaries

 

Concord recognises that whilst we are an international community, our home is here in Shropshire. In recognition of our links with Shropshire, our aim is that the best day students have the chance to attend Concord irrespective of their family’s financial situation. Only after the place has been awarded will the question of fees be raised. If a family is not in a position to be able to afford the fees, then the College will assist in finding the necessary funds.

Once the offer of a place has been made, a deposit must be sent to the College to reserve this place. Deposits vary depending on the status of the child and details can be obtained from the Admissions Secretary.  Deposits will be retained by the College and credited without interest to the final account when the student leaves Concord College. The deposit is normally non-refundable if the student is withdrawn having held a place that could have been offered to another student. 


Anti-money laundering 

 

The College maintains an anti-money laundering (AML) policy and as part of our normal procedures we may check the names of parents and/or fee payers (including those holding offers and all those in the current offer process). 


Admissions information

 

Details of our admissions process can be found on the Joining Form 3, Joining Form 4 (GCSE) and Joining Sixth Form pages. 

Concord is academically selective and over-subscribed. The College takes into account past academic performance, academic potential and whether the student’s goals and outlook would allow them to thrive here and contribute to the Concord community, when deciding whether to offer a place. Prospective day students may benefit from a “taster day” either at their own request or as part of the admissions process. 

A personal tour can be arranged prior to application.
