An Outstanding Location
The school's outstanding location, according to our current parents, is one of the key factors they considered when choosing a school. Christ College occupies a beautiful site on the outskirts of Brecon, a safe, small market town in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
"What a jewel Christ College Brecon is ... if I was starting out all over again, I can think of nowhere finer." - Visiting Headmaster
We are situated in an area which contains some of the most spectacular and diverse landscapes in Europe. However, excellent road and rail links mean that major town and cities are very accessibly with Cardiff and Swansea being less than 1 hours drive away; Birmingham just over 2 hours away and; London being just over 3 hours drive away.
The Christ College Community
Parents and pupils are also quick to emphasise the caring, warm and happy environment that exists in the Christ College community.
"The support and encouragement from teachers and pupils alike prevails in all aspects of school life and creates a unique and special environment" - Parent
The School buildings reflect the schools ancient past as well as its determination to provide the best modern facilities possible for your child.
Class Sizes And The Quality Of Our Teaching
At Christ College we have highly qualified and committed staff with a generous 1:9 teacher:pupil ratio. With small class sizes, our staff are able to give the individual care and attention that every pupil needs and deserves.
"So many people I know and respect are Old Breconians ... it seems to get so many things right!" - Visitor
