Thursday 25 April 2024 Haygrove's Bronze DofE Practice Expedition April 2024 On Friday evening the students put up tents in windy conditions, cooked a meal together and dealt with a cold night. After a frosty start on Saturday, students completed a challenging walking day in sunny weather on the Quantock Hills above Holford.

Tuesday 23 April 2024 Inter Haygrove Football Match - Gray Athletic vs North United On Wednesday last week we had an inter Haygrove match - Gray Athletic vs North United.

The game ended 5-3 to North United but in reality, it was a much closer game than this and either team could have won.

Haygrove School are extremely grateful to Bridgwater and Taunton College for hosting our students over the past few months and making us feel so welcome. The additional benefit of using the specialist college space was a real boost to our students. content
