Name
Allord College was founded in 1405 by the newly crowned Charles I as the 'King's College at the Abbey of Our Lord in the Forest' (Collegium Regis apud Abbatiam Domini Nostri in Foresta. This remains the formal name of the school; however, the shortened name 'Allord College', rendered in Latin as Collegium Dominostri, is used for all but the most formal occasions. The unique portmanteaux 'Allord' and Dominoster are the English and Latin names respectively of the small village which has grown up around the school and abbey.

It is also sometimes known as Allord game. Stinning is played in the winter 'Great Half', and cricket in 'Summer Half'. Other sports are also played, such as rowing (Boat game), racquet, closters (Closter game), hockey and tennis (Court game).
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.
