Now part of the Omega Multi-Academy Trust, we are a school where excellence is at the heart of everything we do.

As Executive Principal, I am proud to lead a dedicated team working towards our mission of ‘Achieving Excellence Together.’ At Alsop, we believe excellence is about making continuous, small improvements every day, for both staff and students. We are always looking for passionate, committed colleagues to join us on this journey.

New staff often speak of the warm, supportive atmosphere and strong team ethos at Alsop. Our values of Ambition, Respect, and Community guide us, and we are committed to providing an exceptional school experience for every child while being the best possible employer. We place a high value on managing staff workload and promoting wellbeing, recognizing our staff as our most valuable resource.

I believe that children’s learning is precious—there are no rehearsals or second chances. I expect our staff to treat every child as they would their own, ensuring every moment of their learning is enriching and impactful. We seek ambitious professionals who share this passion for maintaining high standards and helping students thrive.
At Alsop, we aim to create a family-like work environment, and we are committed to recruiting and retaining inspirational staff who share our vision. As part of the  Trust, our colleagues benefit from strong collaboration, networking, and a comprehensive professional development programme for all levels. Our philosophy is to "train staff so well they can leave, but treat them so well they don't want to."
We offer flexible working arrangements and a wide range of CPD opportunities. We also understand the challenges of working in education, which is why staff wellbeing is a priority—from emotional support to regular management of workload.

We are proud to foster a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the community we serve. By drawing on a wide range of talents, backgrounds, and experiences, we believe it’s the children and young people who benefit most. This is a great opportunity to work in an innovative, dynamic school.

Testimonials

"I  have worked at Alsop High School since 2000, when I started my career in education,  as a PE Learning Support Assistant. It was working with such a passionate and enthusiastic staff team that inspired me to complete my PGCE and return as a member of the teaching staff in 2002. I have taken advantage of every opportunity and experience Alsop has offered,  which has led me into my current role of Assistant Headteacher. 

~ Kathy Begley, Assistant Headteacher

"Beginning my teaching journey in Alsop High School is an experience I am truly grateful for. Having been an Alsop student myself, I have always admired the dedication, hard work, and heart of the staff body. Throughout my training year, I was given the utmost support and felt inspired daily.  That inspiration is something I endeavour to share with our students. I aspire to create an environment in which all pupils believe in themselves and encourage them to see what I see in them.

The continued professional development from Alsop and Omega Multi-Academy Trust  during my ECT year have been invaluable. I have been encouraged and guided to become a reflective practitioner and undoubtedly, this has had a positive impact on my confidence and classroom presence. My experience since joining Alsop High School has enabled me to see the true heart of our school and I am enjoying the privilege of positively contributing in any way I can.”

~ Eve McArdle, English Teacher

“From the first minutes of starting my role as Pastoral Support Officer, Team Alsop has always made me feel welcome, valued and supported. In my role, I count myself lucky to be able to forge excellent relationships with the students and their families. The role brings me great job satisfaction in assisting students to become the best, happiest and most successful versions of themselves.  Alsop has always supported me with my own continuing professional development, encouraging me to take part in both whole school and individual projects and this has given me opportunities to further my own knowledge and expertise in my role. I am proud to be part of such a supportive and caring team of staff, who work tirelessly to ensure the students stay at the center of everything we do.” 

~Dave Taylor, Pastoral Support Officer
