History
With more than a hundred years of history, Springwood provides an education for boys and girls aged between eleven and eighteen in King's Lynn. Springwood High School is a comprehensive school with Specialist Performing Arts Status and a long history of providing an excellent education to pupils in West Norfolk.
Our Pastoral System
Springwood has moved from Heads of House to Heads of Year. This has meant that monitoring of academic progress has been better focused and support and intervention put in place has had a greater impact on our students. We have since taken the decision to make the same change to the pastoral support in order to further improve the whole experience for our students.
High Expectation
We have a high expectation of both our teachers and our students. We set challenging targets for all and support each other to achieve them. We work hard to monitor accurately the progress of students, celebrate academic success and intervene where necessary.
Opportunities
We offer a wide range of opportunities, both within and beyond the classroom - it is vital that every student participates in other areas of school life. Springwood expects every student to take part in other aspects of our offer to them such as Competitive Sport, Dance Performances, Duke of Edinburgh Award, Lunchtime clubs, Numerous foreign visits and exchanges, and many more!
Future
Springwood High school is dedicated to ensuring that every student gains the best qualifications possible. We believe that excellent academic qualifications provide each student with the best life chances and opportunities to ensure a successful and fulfilled future.
