Graduation Ball

The 6.2 Leavers of 2013 were treated to a splendid evening to celebrate their final term at the college.  As is the tradition at Concord, this was the last formal occasion for the senior students, before they leave the college and embark upon the next stage of their education. It was a time to celebrate the success of this very talented group of young people and to reflect upon their achievements.

Cheque for Hope House

A student led group at Concord, the Outreach Society, has presented a cheque for £1,100 to Hope House Children’s Hospices. The students raised the money during the Spring term at two different events at the college.

Win for Waldheim!

In an exciting competition this year, Waldheim have won the Concord Inter House trophy competition for a second year in a row. With nineteen events being contested over three terms, Waldheim took the title convincingly with Hammers in second position.

Swimming Gala

The Summer term’s sporting calendar of House competitions continued with the Swimming Gala on Sunday 5^th May.  A large crowd gathered to cheer on the swimmers and to enjoy the barbecue and refreshments provided by the kitchen on the terrace outside the pool on a beautiful Spring day!

Extension to Art School
