Aspirations, achievements and well-being – everyday priorities at Christ College
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 energizing scenery in the Brecon Beacons National Park, the school was founded by King Henry VIII in 1541. It is a school with a rich cultural heritage.
What is most special about Christ College Brecon is the unique atmosphere of mutual respect and friendship between staff and pupils.
Ranked excellent in all five areas by Estyn, inspectors who visited the school note how enthusiastic pupils get when talking about the exciting quality of their teachers, the energy and fun they inject, 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 care, support and guidance.
While maintaining its top quality academic provision, Christ College Brecon is committed to reinforcing three key areas of excellence in rugby, music and outdoor education – arguably, the areas that Wales is most famous for. This translates into outstanding facilities; dedicated professional coaches; and links with key organisations such as the Cardiff Blues, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and the Combined Cadet Force.
