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.

Tor View School is a new education provision, due to open in  summer 2018. It will be a diverse school which specialises in high  quality day and residential educational provision for children aged  between 7-19 with complex learning needs and challenging behaviour  including Autism. We are part of Southern Pennisula Services, which  includes Quay View School in Bere Alston and three children's homes  situated in local communities in Devon and Cornwall.

About us

From education to hospitals, care homes and secure facilities, the  Priory Group of Companies offers individually tailored,  multidisciplinary treatment programmes for those with complex  educational needs or requiring acute, long-term and respite mental  healthcare.

The integrated strength of each service provides a seamless  transition for the individual as they progress between higher and lower  dependency care and across services. This unique approach ensures that  every individual has the opportunity to achieve the best possible  outcomes and quality of life with the Priory Group.

As 85% of our services are publicly funded and delivered in  partnership with commissioners, our teams work with commissioning bodies  across the country to provide transparent pricing models and  evidence-based care programmes.
