Who is PriorParkVerify
We are a global community of Prior Park alumni, former parents, and former staff and enthusiastic Bathonians—some based locally in Bath and others settled around the world. We are united by our deep passion for Prior Park and a shared concern over the current leadership's rigid, procedural decision-making.
Why now?
Since 2024, several high-profile decisions have left our community deeply confused and created divisions. The leadership has failed to share the data driving these major changes. Furthermore, we have witnessed inflammatory behaviour toward authorities and individuals, masked by corporate “language of unity” that does not match their actions.
So What?
Prior Park is a fundamental pillar of Georgian Bath. The estate's rich history and ongoing contributions to the city have created an unbreakable bond with the wider Bathonian community. This campaign is about respecting our shared heritage, honouring our founders, and ensuring future generations inherit these core historical values.
