Facilities
Prior Park uses The Monument Field, a National Trust-owned site named from a triangular Gothic building with a round tower on the top erected by Bishop Warburton. It contained a circular staircase and had a tablet which was inscribed in Latin in honour of Ralph Allen.
Since 2000, refurbishments include the indoor swimming pool, a new Information and communication technologies centre, other classroom extensions, and the new Mackintosh Dance Studio, which opened in September 2006.
Prior Park College has plans to build a new sports hall to expand training capacity and capabilities. Additional sports facilities are located within easy reach at the National Lottery-funded University of Bath Sports Village, which is the training camp of the England rugby union and netball teams, as well as Bath Rugby Club and the Great Britain rugby league team

—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
