Work begins on new Bridgwater school
8:27am Monday 11th January 2010 in
Pupils at Somerset Bridge Primary School in Bridgwater donned hard hats when they visited the construction site of their new school.
House builder Persimmon Homes South-West invited the children and head teacher Phil Smithen to christen the site.
Mr Smithen dug a section of the foundations for the new school - which is due to open in September - and seven pupils gathered around to watch.
Mr Smithen said: “We all enjoyed seeing the location of what will be our new school and are looking forward to moving in and utilising our brand new facilities to the full.”
