The Priory Group was created in 1980 with the purchase of the Priory Hospital, Roehampton by an American healthcare company. The Roehampton site has been in continuous operation since its launch in 1872 by psychiatrist of great distinction, Dr William Wood. Over the following decades the Group acquired more hospitals and diversified its services. In 1993 the Priory Group moved into specialist education services with the purchase of Jacques Hall Foundation, then an adolescent therapeutic community, in Manningtree, Essex.

Our care homes and our older peoples division was established in May 2009 and in March 2011, Priory Group acquired Craegmoor allowing a growth in the Group’s portfolios of hospital and specialist educational colleges. As the market leader in Autism and Learning Disability Services, Craegmoor enables Priory Group to create a new division operating in that marketplace.
