The Trust was established in 2016 and is named after a local landmark, The Palladian Bridge in Prior Park, a symbol of connection and unity.

We are proud to work in partnership with our Local Authorities of BANES and Wiltshire, our two Dioceses of Bath and Wells and Salisbury as well as other local and regional partners. We are also delighted to be an accredited delivery partner for Best Practice Network - delivering NPQ courses since 2023.
