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. 14 boys are drawn 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 Chepingstow where Cholcliff College reserves half of its places for the 'Old Dominostrians' of the school.
