Welcome from the Executive Principal

 

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Alsop High school. I am proud to be the Executive Principal of our wonderful, warm school that is part of Omega Multi-Academy Trust. 

We are one of the largest schools in Liverpool, with an amazing history, having provided education to children of the Walton area since our foundation in 1926.

Our mission, "Achieving Excellence Together," embodies our commitment to continuous improvement. We strive for 1% better every day in everything we do. Our goal is to offer the best educational experience for every child and to be the best employer for our staff. 

Our work each day is based on our 3 key values:

  • Ambition: We have unapologetically high expectations for every child in our care and are looking to secure an amazing destination for each of them. 
  • Respect: We passionately believe in creating successful adults of the future and so we underpin everything we do with a culture of kindness and compassion.
  • Community: We exist to serve our community and we can only be successful by forming an unbreakable team of students, staff, parents and the wider Walton community. 

At Alsop, we are dedicated to creating lasting memories and remarkable experiences for your children. While academic excellence is our goal, we also focus on nurturing young individuals ready to make their mark on the world.

Our staff are committed to treating every student with the same care and dedication they would their own children. With my own children, I am honest, unapologetic about asking them to work hard and I always ask for more from them. I believe children become what we expect them to be, so we must encourage them to aim high. One of my favourite quotes is “children’s learning is not a rehearsal; they never get a second chance.” This philosophy guides my commitment to creating an environment where every child is encouraged to aim high and achieve their best. I take the responsibility for caring for our students incredibly seriously. 

We are a school with a wonderful environment, excellent facilities for learning, committed and passionate staff and amazing students. If you are interested in experiencing Alsop High School first hand, we warmly invite you to book a visit to tour our school and meet our community.
