Building Schools for the Future (BSF)

Bridgwater was selected as the first 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 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.[5] However, in July 2010, several components of the scheme for Bridgwater schools were cancelled, including the plans for Haygrove School.
