A local MP says it is "very regrettable" that the predicted timescale to rebuild part of a secondary school in Bridgwater means that some students will have to learn in temporary classrooms for their "whole school life".
Haygrove School was partially shut in August 2023 due to safety concerns. Since then, lessons have taken place in non-permanent classrooms.
Conservative Bridgwater MP Ashley Fox says he hopes construction will begin in autumn 2026, subject to planning permission, and be finished by September 2028.
The Department for Education (DfE) has confirmed a feasibility study to build a new school at Queenswood Farm is "on track" to be completed by the end of this year.
