I am delighted to welcome you to Concord College. Concord is a very special place. Our inclusive ethos and commitment to the highest standards in education have made Concord into the UK's premier international school.  I hope that as you read these words and browse the website you will start to see just how special it is.

We set very high academic standards. Students come here and want to do their best. They work incredibly hard to achieve not only their hopes and dreams, but also the hopes and dreams of their families. Together, the culture we create is one of success. Our examination results are remarkable and Concord students are to be found at all the top UK universities.  

Life at Concord is not just about academic brilliance. The great strength of the College is its sense of community. Our students come to us from all over the world, but they share common bonds: they value learning, respect each other and appreciate the skills and expertise of their teachers. Students also find that the College is small enough to feel it is their home from home. My family and I, along with many of the College staff live around the campus or in the village.  In this supportive environment we give young people the chance to develop the skills and self-confidence and the maturity they will require in their adult lives.

Students also have the chance to live and learn in a wonderful environment.  The College is beautiful and safe, set in the heart of the English countryside. We have many new buildings including the Dining Room, a Sports complex, several new accommodation blocks and a Theatre and Music School. Our most recent project has created a new Library and classroom complex in the middle of the campus.  We also have some lovely historic buildings: the Main House, the remains of a medieval barn and even a castle next door.

Concord is a unique and exciting educational community. I look forward to welcoming you here.
