'''Allord College''' is a common school for boys in Allord, Enley, [[Great Nortend]]. It is attached to Allord Abbey, a Camuvalian monastery, and was founded in 1405 to educate poor scholars. It is a fully boarding school, with an enrolment of approximately 700 boys. In keeping with its history as a school founded for the poor, 70 pupils are drawn from the region on academic scholarships known as commoners and wear gowns. 14 additional commoners attend on choral scholarships, requiring singing in choir twice daily in the college chapel. The rest of the pupils are known as freemen (likely a corruption of 'feemen'), and are fee-paying pupils.

Allord charges up to £140 per annum, with three terms in a year. It is one of the most expensive schools in Great Nortend, and is a popular choice for the sons of royalty, peers and the gentry. Over half of the valedictorians in a given year matriculate at a university, mostly at the University of Aldesey where Cholecliff College reserves half of its places for the 'Old Dominostrians' of the school, although a number do attend the universities of Rhise or Limmes.

==Houses==
There are nine boarding houses at Allord College, each with its own housemaster. Common House is reserved for the scholars and choristers. Freemen's houses, of which there are eight, are usually referred to by their housemaster rather than by the actual building's name, excepting Outhouse.
 
The houses are present called: Wickman's, Michaelson's, Estfield's, Joblac's, Rosham's, Anotton's, Secbury's, Outhouse and College.

Boys live in their house, under the supervision of a housemaster and their housekeeper, universally addressed as "Dame". From the sixth form are elected the Head Boy of the house, as well as the House Captain. Houses compete against each other in sport and games, and have traditions and customs of their own.

* [[William, Prince of Rhise]]
* William Fitzgerald, 12th Margrave of Bine and former [[Lord High Treasurer of Great Nortend|Lord High Treasurer]]
