is one of the
Colleges of the
University Of Cambridge . It is widely reputed for its high academic standards - in recent years, it has consistently dominated the
Tompkins Table of colleges. Despite this, the College has performed admirably in sporting activities in recent years with the rubgy and football teams both performing extremely well in inter-collegiate events.
The college grew from God's House founded in 1437 on land now occupied by
King's College Chapel . It received its first royal licence in 1446. It moved to its present site in 1448 when it received its second royal licence. It was renamed Christ's College and received its present charter in 1505 when it was endowed and expanded by
Lady Margaret Beaufort , mother of King
Henry VII .
The Junior Combination Room, Christ's College Students' Union, is involved in every aspect of student life. Representative of the student body, it organises social and welfare events, and negotiates on the students' behalf on important issues. The JCR's webpage can be accessed
here .
Also of note are the club,
CCBC and the
Chapel Choir .
The College hosts a
Biennial May Ball .
