Bridgwater College Academy is a mixed all-through Academy which combines both primary and secondary education for pupils aged 3 to 16. The academy, which is sponsored by Bridgwater College, is located in Bridgwater, Somerset, England. It was established in September 2012 following the merger of East Bridgwater Community School with Sedgemoor Manor Junior and Infants schools.[2]
History
The former school was a specialist Arts College, and has 800 students between the ages of 11 and 16.[1]
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 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]
