Priory Education and Children’s Services is a leading company in the UK offering independent behavioural care for commissioners across the UK.  With over 100 high quality schools, colleges and homes we focus on making a real and lasting difference for everyone we support.

Priory College Swindon provides residential and day placements for students with specific social and communication difficulties, particularly autism and Asperger Syndrome, including co-morbid conditions, sexualised and anti-social behaviour. The independent specialist college has a clear focus on improving employability and employment outcomes for young people aged 16 to 25 years old.

Priory College Swindon incorporates a number of community-based settings, including residential homes, teaching space and therapy rooms. We also enjoy close working relationships with a number of partner colleges, which allows us to provide a comprehensive curriculum with an exceptionally broad range of subjects and courses on offer.

The college is located in a large, vibrant town, which allows our students to access a wide range of facilities and amenities. The local Swindon mainline railway station has direct links to London Paddington, as well as a number of other nearby cities, including Bath, Bristol and Cardiff. A nearby coach station and good links to the M4 motorway ensures Priory College Swindon is easily accessible.

Our approach enables young people to develop confidence and skills they need to progress towards adulthood, including further or higher education.
