The Priory Training School is part of the Priory Learning Trust which has schools across Somerset. More information about these can be found here.

We work in partnership with the Five Counties SCITT which is an outstanding teacher training provider working across Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and Somerset; and Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.

The programme of school-centred training draws on the expertise and experience in our organisations and the Five Counties partnership to provide trainees with the best possible subject-specific training and professional development, combined with excellent opportunities to practice in schools.

The Priory Training School is passionate about education and has successfully trained future teachers for about 10 years, with many of them going on to be employed in our schools and within schools across the region, nationally and internationally.

Some distinctive features of our provision are:

• Driven by a moral responsibility to provide excellent education for all.
• Commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and promoting well-being and achievement of children and young people.
• Early experience in schools, all year round.
• Intensive school-based practice with experts in our partnership schools
• Exceptional support - we know our trainees individually.
