03 MEET OUR SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM MR NICKWILLS MR RICHARD THOMPSON MR JAMIE WARNER-LYNN I attended Springwood High School and Sixth Form as a student during the late 1980’s and returned to teach at the school in 2011. My early career was spent teaching Science at Springwood including A Level Chemistry & Physics and since then, I have had a multitude of roles. In recent years, I have led on Science across the West Norfolk Academies Trust and been part of the local leadership term at Springwood. Key parts of my role as Deputy Headteacher include leading on Key Stage 4, Quality Assurance and strategic development planning. Springwood has been my school of choice for both my children and I am very proud that so many of our staff also choose Springwood for their children. I feel incredibly fortunate to work in such an amazing environment, surrounded by friendly, respectful and hard-working students and supported by committed, dedicated and passionate staff.

You will get the opportunity at Springwood to go on national rounded and dynamic students. I started teaching at Springwood High School in 1995 as a newly qualified teacher of Physical Education and I am now Head of Sport and PE. During the last 29 years I have seen the school grow and transform into the wonderful school it is today. It has been Springwood’s extensive opportunities, both inside and outside the curriculum, coupled with the strong academic outcomes that consolidated my decision to send my two children to Springwood when they reached secondary school age. My son, now at university, studied for both his GCSEs and A Levels at Springwood, whilst my daughter, currently in Year 11, has immersed herself into school life, both academically and through her sporting involvement. As a parent, I have had the pleasure to hear my children talk about their school day, about the dedicated teachers that continue to make learning fun and who work incredibly hard to make this school a safe place for all.
