Community outreach

Community outreach is an integral part of the Prior Park ethos.

Prior Park organises and participates in a variety of outreach events and programmes throughout the year, both on and off site.

During the summer term, the College hosts several activities for local primary school children to take part in. These include STEAM Days, Art projects, and Introduction to Tennis sessions, run in conjunction with Team Bath Tennis. All are hugely enjoyable and inspiring events, with up to 100 school children attending per day.

Sixth Form students from St Gregory's Bath are invited to experience our annual Sixth Form Inspire Conference, where speakers from all walks of life - Olympic medallists, entrepreneurs, motivational speakers, creative gurus, charities, etc - address students with their inspirational stories. Students from St Gregory's and other Bath schools are also invited to join Prior students for mock Oxbridge interviews, Bath Student Parliament discussions, Medical Society lectures, and University or Gap Year Fairs.

Prior's Music department is involved with many community events in and around Bath. These range from visiting local primary schools to run workshops and give concerts, to playing at local festivals and participating in Bath Festivals' Schools Voices.

In addition, Prior Park works with St John's Foundation, a community focused charity working across Bath and North East Somerset.  One of the Charity's aims is 'Narrowing the attainment gap for Key Stage 2 children in Bath and North East Somerset'. Prior works with St John's to provide a variety of opportunities for these children, such as the annual Be Inspired Netball Day. The day includes tasks and games that are designed to educate, support wellbeing, develop teamwork skills and self-efficiency, as well as build confidence. Team Bath Netball provide the activities.
