[edit] Building Schools for the Future (BSF)
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 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] 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.[6]
In September 2011 Mrs Canham hosted an unveiling ceremony of a mini-bus, in which she artfully whipped a tea towel from the front of the bus! The whole school gathered to watch this event which marked a significent moment in Haygrove fundraising history. The occasion was captured by photgraphers and published on the school website.
