Christ College Brecon takes international boarders at the standard UK entry points of 11+, 13+ and 16+ (Sixth Form), for boys and girls alike. Applications are strongest when started 12–18 months ahead of a September start, with school reports, English evidence and match footage prepared in advance.
Cricket runs all year: indoor winter training and strength work, then a full summer fixture programme against other independent schools. Criced verifies each player’s standard before a profile reaches the coaching staff, so trials are arranged only where there is a genuine fit.

Full boarding at the schools we work with generally sits between £13,000 and £19,000 per term, plus guardianship, flights, insurance and uniform. Sport, all-rounder and academic awards, sometimes combined with means-tested support, can reduce that meaningfully for the right pupil. We confirm current figures with the school for every family.
