Prior Park College is a Roman Catholic co-educational independent school for both day and boarding pupils. It is situated on a hill overlooking the city of Bath, in Somerset, in south-west England. Prior Park has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building. One of the wings of the mansion includes a church, the Chapel of our Lady of the Snows, which was built in 1863 by Scoles and Son and is grade I listed (there is also a chapel in the original house). The adjoining 57-acre (23 ha) Prior Park Landscape Garden, once part of the school site, is now owned by the National Trust.
Prior Park Preparatory School is a feeder school to the college and is located in Cricklade, Wiltshire.
