Christ College Brecon

Facilities

Our 40 acre campus and school buildings reflect the school’s ancient past as well as its determination to provide the best modern facilities possible for our pupils.

The Chapel and Dining Hall, both in daily use, date from the 13th century. Our cricket pavilion dates from 1924. The preservation of these iconic buildings, and others, gives Christ College its distinctive sense of heritage.

However, our facilities are continually being updated to enhance teaching and the interests of young people today. The school’s performing arts facility, provides a 250 seat theatre with music rooms and drama studios, art gallery space and a social foyer area. The “School Library” was refurbished in 2023, and is now a modern learning space, with conference facilities, that allow pupils to enjoy their learning environment and attend seminars and lectures from a variety of external experts throughout the academic year.

Christ College Brecon has a proud sporting tradition and enjoys national success in cricket, hockey, rugby and athletics. Pupils can also participate in a range of sports such as cross country, netball, tennis, basketball, and mountain biking.

Our indoor sporting facilities include a fitness suite, squash courts, sports hall and a 15m swimming pool. Outdoors, we have five rugby pitches, two cricket squares, tennis courts, netball courts and an Astroturf.

Other facilities include a modern science centre with bright, spacious labs and a beautiful ‘listed’ art building overlooking the river Usk. Photography pupils can take advantage of two fully equipped and specially adapted studios, a dark room and an IT room.
