Alsop High School is a community secondary school in Walton, Liverpool, L4 6SH,England
The school was founded by the Liverpool Education Committee, in 1919, under the chairmanship of James W. Alsop. The school moved to its current premises on Queen's Drive in 1926.
After World War II, further buildings were constructed - a dining annex, an assembly hall, a library and an art room, which was completed around 1953-4. Previously the Hall had been on the ground floor behind the front tower with windows onto the yard. When the new hall was opened, this area was converted into three classrooms onto the yard, and laboratories to the front onto Queens Drive.
Further additions later, included a new block with laboratories, a gym, and a metalwork shop. In recent years, the school also acquired the old Arnot Street school on County Road and adjacent to Arnot Street primary school. The lower school was designed by Gilling Dod, based in the Cunard Building, Liverpool. The lower school was demolished and the site has since been used to develop a Tesco Metro store and a car park.p
Alsop High School is the largest secondary school in Liverpool at present. The current Alsop High School building was built in 1926, and an extensive refurbishment / backlog maintenance of the existing campus buildings began in September 2008. The campus recently benefited from the construction of a new £8.4m building designed by architects 2020 Liverpool [1] and includes a new canteen, new 6th form facilities, reception area, atrium, new Spanish, Humanities, and English learning pods as well as classroomswith improved IT facilities and a new dance and activity studio. The site has also benefited from extensive new landscaping and refurbishment of the listed rectory building. Since 2011, former headteacher Mr Jamieson retired. However, current headmaster, Mr Mangan decided to spend £15,000.000 on a modern formed building named 'The Jamieson Building' named after the former teacher. Aside from the Jamieson and 1926 buildings, there is also the MAD (Music, Art and Drama) block and the ICT block which also consists of the school's LRC (Learning Resource Center).
