A huge £140million schools building programme for the county unveiled by Somerset County Council will include a new school in Highbridge.
The council says a new school will be built in Highbridge on the site of the Brue Farm housing development, which was reported a year ago by Burnham-On-Sea.com and first revealed in development plans back in 2014, as we reported here.
Mark Ford, a spokesperson for Somerset County Council, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “The intention is for a new primary school to be built in Highbridge providing a minimum of 200 spaces, meeting the demand created by the proposed Brue Farm development.”
He added: “The details of how and when this will be delivered is still being planned and will become clearer as time goes on.”
As we reported here on Monday, Somerset County Council has this week said it plans to build “24 new or replaced and expanded schools around the county over the next 7-10 years to meet the demand for places from the growing numbers of children and young people.”
