Building Schools for the Future (BSF)
Bridgwater was selected as the 1st town in the South West level[2] 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.[3] Within Bridgwater, Building Schools for the Future was to develop all of the 4 secondary schools which are Chilton Trinity Technology College, Robert Blake Science College, East Bridgwater Community School and Haygrove School along with 2 special provision schools, Elmwood School and Penrose School at an expected cost of around £100 Million.[4] This includes 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.[5]
In September 2011, headteacher Karen Canham hosted an unveiling ceremony of a mini-bus, in which she artfully whipped off a large fabric sheet covering most of the bus! The whole school gathered to watch this event which marked a significant moment in Haygrove fundraising history. The occasion was captured by photographers and published on the school website.
