Band 8+: The diagram below show the changes that have taken place at West park secondary school since its construction in 1950. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting main features and make comparisons while relevant.

The diagrams illustrate the development of West Park Secondary School from 1950 to 2010.

Looking at the west side of the map, we can see that houses were demolished to make way for the science block and car park in 1980. Additionally, farmland was converted into a sports field in 1980, which later transitioned into an expanded car park by 2010. The car park expanded on the west side of the school, while the sports field was relocated between the car park and the playground in 2010.

In contrast, the east side of the school has remained the same, with the exception of a reduction in the size of the playground area to accommodate the sports field in 2010. Furthermore, the main road has not changed since the school’s construction.

In summary, houses and farmland have disappeared from the map, replaced by a car park, a science block, and a sports field. The playground has also been reduced in size, although its location remains unchanged.
