Prior Park College is a co-educational public school for both boarding and day pupils in Bath, south-west England.

The school kept its links with the Catholic diocese – which meant pupils were required to study Religious Education to GCSE level – until 2024.

By that time the proportion of students of the Catholic faith had decreased to 18%, and the school is now described as Christian.

[5] The Palladian hillside mansion housing Prior Park College was designed and built by John Wood, the Elder in 1742.

Prior Park Landscape Garden was laid out between 1734 and 1744, with the Allens benefiting during the first phase from the advice of their friend Alexander Pope.

In 1828, Bishop Baines purchased the mansion for £22,000 and used it as a seminary named the Sacred Heart College.

In 1993, 11.3 hectares (28 acres) of the park and pleasure grounds were acquired by the National Trust and have been extensively restored.

The field is named after a triangular Gothic building with a round tower erected by Bishop Warburton, demolished in 1953;[17] it had a circular staircase and contained a tablet inscribed in Latin in honour of Ralph Allen.

In 1946 the Congregation of Christian Brothers opened a preparatory school linked to Prior Park College, at Calcutt Street, Cricklade, Wiltshire.
