Although a small co-educational school, Christ College has always provided many opportunities for both boys and girls in sport. In recent years, opportunities for girls' sports have expanded significantly in response to growing demand.

Providing an all-round education, Christ College offers a varied co-curricular programme alongside its academic studies, where pupils can take part in activities such as mountain biking, horse-riding, paddle-boarding and climbing, as well as their main team sports of hockey, netball, and cricket.

The school actively supports and encourages its pupils with their sporting commitments through its Elite Player Pathway (EPP) program. The EPP offers tiered levels of support, from bronze to platinum, including group sessions, one to one training, nutritional guidance, and strength and conditioning sessions.

Sarah Hardman, Assistant Director of Sport, says ‘I am so proud of what our girls continue to achieve within our school sports programme and beyond. For a small school, we continue to punch well above our weight whilst maintaining an inclusive atmosphere where sport is for all. Our Senior girls are brilliant role models for the Prep pupils and regularly support them in their training and matches. I am excited for the future of girls' sport at Christ College.’

Their recent partnership with Hockey Wales means that Christ College has become a hub for county hockey in Powys, providing access to representative hockey for pupils in and around Brecon. Numerous pupils at Christ College are currently representing Powys and Regional Hockey (RPC), and the 1st XI Girls' Hockey Team recently became the 2025 National U18 Champions.

Sixth Form pupil, Tilly, comments ‘Since joining Christ College, I have been able to develop my hockey as well as having the opportunity to participate in sports that were new to me, such as cricket and netball. The sports community at Christ College is inclusive and enjoyable. The specialist coaching is encouraging and has helped me achieve my potential by representing Wales’

In netball, Christ College were successful in winning the South Powys tournament again this year in U16 and U18 age groups progressing to the next stage in the National competition. This follows last year's success with the U18 reaching the National finals in Cardiff. 

During the summer, Christ College hosted two national cricket festivals. The stunning views, historic pavilion, and excellent cricket facilities are major assets for the school, who have many girls within Cricket Wales and Glamorgan Cricket development pathways.

In the South Powys cross country league, Christ College girls are leading their age groups with one race left in the series. Christ College takes full advantage of its generous surroundings, offering trail running as one of their extra-curricular sports. 

Outside of school, several girls at Christ College have been involved in National championships, including sailing, mountain biking, equestrian and wake boarding. With the school's support, they are able to balance their academic studies while pursuing their dreams of excelling in their chosen sport.

Sixth form pupil, Laragh, says ‘From my experience, everyone at Christ College has been incredibly friendly and inclusive from the beginning. I've found there is a huge selection of sports here and plenty of opportunities to try new things. The program to support more experienced athletes is incredible, with access to sports mentors and fitness sessions designed to be the most efficient for your sport, I feel that I have the support to excel in sports inside and outside of school.’

Christ College Brecon provides an all-round education for boys and girls, with day pupils joining from age 4, and boarding pupils from age 10-18.

The Good Schools Guide describes Christ College as “a small, genuinely all-rounded and exceptionally friendly school that makes excellent use of the National Park it sits within. Proud of its heritage but not weighed down by it, there’s a sense of tradition balanced by a light-heartedness. Best suited to those with a can-do attitude who like being busy.”
