Christ College Brecon is a small school with a big family feel, where our motto “They achieve because they believe they can” encourages self-confidence and a willingness to embrace new experiences, preparing pupils for life beyond school. With exceptional pastoral care, a warm welcome, and a compassionate community, pupils thrive in an environment where kindness, respect, and personal growth are at the heart of everything.

Our pupils achieve excellent academic outcomes alongside the development of holistic skills designed to equip them with a toolkit for life. Sixth Form pupils celebrated impressive A Level results in 2024, with 60% achieving A*-A, 100% A*- A in Physics, 100% A*- A in Further Mathematics, 95% A*- A in Maths, and 82% A*- A in Chemistry. 

Located in the peaceful environment of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the school’s Saturday activity programme, described by The Good Schools Guide as “one of the most exciting Saturday programmes we’ve seen,” offers a variety of activities including basketball, golf, mountain biking, climbing, horse-riding, paddle boarding, robotics, music, drama and debating: there's something for everyone.

One of the most special things about Christ College is the warmth of the welcome here. Both day and boarding pupils consider the school a home-from-home and quickly develop a sense of belonging. Our Houseparents know our pupils well, creating a welcoming family atmosphere, at a school where children have the support to discover and nurture their talents.
