Christ College has an excellent track record of care for its pupils
SITUATED within the Brecon Beacons National Park, Christ College is an independent co-educational boarding and day school.
Founded by Henry VIII in 1541, the college is one of the oldest schools in Wales and educates and nurtures around 360 pupils annually between the ages of seven and 18.
The institution consistently achieves excellent results at A-level and GCSE.
Over the past three years, 43% of A-level grades were A* or A and 85% grade A to C.
Over the same period, 46% of GCSE results were grades nine to seven.
This strong track record, which is testament to the quality of the teaching and learning experiences the school offers, has enabled the majority of Christ College pupils to progress on to their first choice of course and university.
Setting it apart from other educational facilities, Christ College prides itself on its exclusive learning community, where the school becomes a second-home and pupils and faculty become family.
Its second curriculum, which complements academic study and contributes to pupils’ skills and character development, includes music, creative and performing arts and an excellent sport and outdoor
pursuit provision including its own Beacons outdoor education programme as well as the Duke of Edinburgh Award and Combined Cadet Force.
Pupils have access to a high calibre
coaching team, a range of facilities including a modern fitness suite, astroturf pitch, hard tennis courts, indoor sports hall, 25m swimming pool, and utilise the nearby Brecon Beacons for activities such as kayaking, rock climbing and mountain biking.
To quote the Good Schools Guide 2020: “One of the best value schools in the UK, where the fees comprise almost everything and extras are limited. Again and again we heard the words family and community. This is a small school that caters for everyone.”
