The diagrams illustrate how West Park Secondary School has developed from 1950 to 2010. Overall, the school underwent significant expansion, with new facilities such as a car park, a science block, and a sports field replacing earlier structures like houses and farmland.
In 1950, the area consisted of four main sections: houses to the west, a school building in the centre, farmland behind the houses, and a playground adjacent to the school. These areas occupied roughly equal proportions of the site.
By 1980, substantial changes had been made. The houses were demolished and replaced by a car park, and a new science block was constructed between the car park and the main school building. The farmland to the south was converted into a sports field, while the playground remained unchanged.
In 2010, further development took place. The car park was expanded significantly, occupying the entire space where the sports field had been located. Meanwhile, the playground was reduced in size to accommodate a smaller sports field on its western side. The science block and main school building remained the same as in 1980.
Overall, over the 60-year period, the school saw continuous expansion, particularly in terms of infrastructure and space allocation, with a clear shift from residential and agricultural land towards educational and recreational facilities.
