Overview

What we do

Priory Education Services is the country's leading independent provider of specialist education and care for children and young people age four upwards with special educational needs including autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), Asperger's syndrome (AS), behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD) and specific learning difficulties (SpLD) including dyslexia. Most of our students have a Statement of Special Educational Need and are funded by local authorities.

We specialise in working with children and young people whose behaviour can often be very challenging and whose individual needs are all very different. Our aim is to deliver the highest level of education and care according to individual needs within a safe, positive and structured environment where every young person can achieve the best possible outcomes.

Priory Education Services has eighteen schools and four young adult services in various locations nationwide. Each school has its own individual qualities that are unique to the children and young people within it in order to offer a complete integration of education, care and therapy.

Through providing flexible, individually tailored programmes we are able to offer an education and care pathway from early childhood through to adulthood. We provide access to a wide range of therapies depending on individual need including psychological support, psychiatry, speech and language, cognitive behaviour, music and art therapy.

Options include day, extended day, weekly boarding, 52 week residential, respite care and emergency placements.

If you have concerns and worries about your child's physical, emotional, intellectual or social development Priory Education Services are here to advise and help you every step of the way to help you get the right support for your child.  You know your child better than anyone but if you want to talk through your worries and concerns please call us on 0845 2 774 679 or email education@priorygroup.com.

Access to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS)

Children and young people in our care may require acute inpatient, outpatient and day patient psychiatric services. As part of the Priory Group, Priory Education Services are uniquely placed to benefit from the therapeutic and psychological expertise of child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) in certain areas across the UK.
