Christ College Brecon: Where a student's aspirations are considered priority

The oldest school in Wales, Christ College Brecon, provides an inspiring curriculum focussed on the development of the pupil’s character.

Set within some of the UK’s most beautiful and energising scenery in the Brecon Beacons National Park, the school was founded by King Henry VIII in 1541. 

What is most special about Christ College Brecon is the unique atmosphere of mutual respect and friendship between staff and pupils. Inspectors who visit the school note how enthusiastic pupils get when talking about the exciting quality of their teachers, their energy, and the extra time teachers are prepared to offer for catch up and clarification. 

This is because pupils’ aspirations, achievements and well-being are Christ College Brecon’s everyday priorities. The school offers a calm and balanced environment, and its personal and social education (PSE) programme is central to its provision for support and guidance. 

Christ College Brecon is also committed to reinforcing three key areas of excellence in rugby, music and outdoor education, arguably areas that Wales is most famous for.

This translates into outstanding facilities; dedicated professional coaches; and partnerships with key organisations like the Cardiff Blues, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and the Combined Cadet Force.
