Question 1

When is the application deadline?

Accepted Answer

Applications remain open year-round, as long as places remain available. Applications are considered from the September before a student would be admitted onwards (for example, applications for September 2025 entry will be considered from September 2024 onwards). Applications made before then are seen first and have the best chance of success.

Question 2

When are the entrance tests?

Accepted Answer

Tests are online and supervised by our own admissions team. Test appointments are available from 14 months prior to the start of the academic year you would start at Concord. Students whose applications are received early (more than a year ahead) are the first to sit entrance tests and have their applications considered.

Question 3

Is there an application fee?

Accepted Answer

A registration fee is payable upon application. Once you have submitted the application form, the admissions team will contact you with details. The registration fees are listed on the Boarding Fees and Day Fees pages of the website. Please see the appropriate page for current details.

Question 4

Do I have to travel for my interview?

Accepted Answer

Interviews are typically via online calls, though if a student is visiting the school, or one of our team is visiting the student's home city, we may schedule a face-to-face interview.

Question 5

Who will interview me?

Accepted Answer

Interviews are usually with a senior member of staff such as the Principal, Vice Principal or Head of Lower School.

Question 6

What is the interview like?

Accepted Answer

Interviews are usually fairly informal; they give us the chance to find out more about you. You might be asked about your studies and about your interests outside of school.

Question 7

How should I prepare for tests and the interview?

Accepted Answer

We don't recommend any specific preparation for the tests and interviews. Our team are highly experienced in understanding how different education systems around the world might affect scores on our tests. There is no set pass mark; tests, school reports and the interview all help us to understand the student.

Question 8

When will I know if I have a place?

Accepted Answer

This may take a few weeks from taking the test, especially at the start of the academic year when the first group of applicants are considered. Please do contact us if you need an update on your application.

Question 9

When is the Concord College open day?
