Our first Concord EnterpriseFest on Saturday was a huge success. Sixth formers were shown how they could use enterprise skills to get their ideal job, or even become their own boss with the support of some of our wonderful Concord alumni.

Emma Jones (class of 1990) was our keynote speaker - Emma is now the Small Business Commissioner for the UK Government so is perfectly placed to offer her advice.

Emma was also joined by inspirational entrepreneurs, financiers, marketers and doctors. Even our more recent alumni had fantastic advice about starting your own business at university as well as getting internships.

Thank you to everyone who came and made the event so successful! ...

The Concord Engineering club recently organised a team bridge-building activity for 6.1 students 🌉

Each group, made up of three to six members, was given only wooden sticks and hot-glue guns to construct their bridge.

When it came to the time for testing, the bridges were evaluated using a ratio comparing the bridge’s mass to the amount of weight it could carry and, amazingly, almost every bridge withstood up to 33 kg!

We recently held our third annual House Geography competition: an inter-year general geographical knowledge quiz featuring capitals, country outlines, famous landmarks and flags.

After a very close-fought competition, Mandela beat second place Gandhi by only 1.5 points to take the victory!

We held our annual EPQ poster event last week where students showcase their impressive research into a variety of chosen topics 📖

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) develops students skills in reading, researching, referencing and conducting their own investigations (supported by the Concord Research Lab). As such, it is a highly regarded qualification by universities.

This year`s 52 chosen topics ranged from `Are humans prepared to colonise other planets?` to `Chocolate: The Food of Gods` and everything in between!
