Concord College Summer School

As we come to an end of Concord Summer School 2026 it's nice to reflect and celebrate everyone's achievements 🏆

We held our annual academic and sporting awards ceremony followed by an impressive talent show featuring a variety of individual and group musical performances. There was even a live recital of every element in the periodic table! 🧪🎤

Congratulations to all students, it's been brilliant to have you here with us. Enjoy the rest of your summer! ☀️

It wouldn't be Concord Summer School without the colour run and water fight!

More fun being had in enrichment activities... this time it's football, badminton and table tennis! 🏓⚽🏸

Sporting, culinary, gaming, and artistic skills are all growing through our enrichment programme of extra-curricular activities... everything from cooking to archery! 🎯🍳

For their presentation of their environment project in their Business Ventures lesson, our Humanities students conducted a tour around the 'Museum of Anthropocene' (the period of time during which humanity has become a planetary force of change).

Each student explained an exhibit in the museum about something that humans have created which has impacted the environment. These included everything from single-use coffee cups, smartphone batteries, cruise ships, fast fashion, water bottles to machine-printed burgers!

Did you know it takes 7000 litres of water to make 1 pair of jeans?

Students enjoyed a lovely sunny Friday afternoon trip to our local historic market town of Shrewsbury last week. They explored the Harry Potter store, the Quarry park next to the river Severn, the Di**le garden and finished with a well earned ice cream! 🍦☀️

Our senior students have been busy in their Science lessons so far 🧪🔬🧬

In Biology they've dissected fish heads, in Chemistry they've learned about Titration and in Physics they've experimented with Hooke's Law!

In their Engineering lessons so far students have been learning about aerodynamics by making and testing paper airplanes ✈️

They've also been experimenting with mechanical adaptations by racing remote controlled cars! 🚗

The first full day of Concord Summer School is always a fun-filled day of making new friends. Yesterday was no different with entertaining icebreaker games and the traditional group photo in front of Acton Burnell Castle! ☀️
