Bridgwater was selected as the 1st town in the South West level[3] to be selected for the UK governments Building Schools for the Future initiative, which aimed to rebuild and renew nearly every secondary school in England.[4] Within Bridgwater, Building Schools for the Future was to develop all of the 4 secondary schools along with 2 special provision schools, Elmwood School and Penrose School at an expected cost of around £100 Million. [5] This included the complete relocation and rebuilding of a new school combining the both Haygrove and Penrose School.
In July 2010 several components of the scheme for Bridgwater schools were cancelled and others were still under discussion.[6]
