Boarding Fees

Boarding fees are currently £21,000 per term (£63,000 per year) inclusive of VAT.

Fees for boarding are invoiced twice per year.

Our aim is to provide the highest quality education at the best value and we continue to keep our fee levels under review to minimise changes in fees.

The College aims to include all the key elements of a Concord education in our fees. Our fees include some elements that would be added as extra items at some schools. 

 (For Day fees please refer to Day student fees section.)

Insurance

The College recommends that parents arrange the following insurances for their children:

• Personal property insurance (own arrangements necessary) 
• Private health insurance (strongly recommended and available via the College at an extra charge). 

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 The deposit is normally non-refundable if the student is withdrawn having held a place that could have been offered to another student. 

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.

On application a registration fee of £460 is payable for those applying for a boarding place.

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).
