Alsop appoints a new headteacher

Alsop High School has appointed Mr Chris Wilson to succeed Mr Joe Mangan as Headteacher. Mr Wilson will take up his position during June 2019.

Mr Wilson spent his formative years in Wakefield and attended the University of Sheffield achieving a degree in history before completing his PGCE in the same city.

He began teaching at Shelley College in Huddersfield and he has worked in a range of schools across the north of England teaching young people ranging from eleven to eighteen years old and from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures.

Liverpool is a city close to his heart as his wife and her family are originally from the city and they are delighted to be returning with their son to begin the next phase of their life and careers.

Mr Wilson said: “I am delighted and privileged to be joining Alsop High School as headteacher.

“Education is about life chances and our mission is to provide all young people with the knowledge and skills they need to become prosperous and successful members of society.

“Students and colleagues I have met so far are clearly very proud of their school and the centenary it celebrates this year, and I look forward to joining parents, carers, governors and alumni at the events to recognise this”.

Mrs Mal Fielding, chair of governors said: “We are delighted to welcome Chris Wilson to lead our school community. He is committed to ensuring Alsop High School fulfils our shared ambition of being an outstanding school in the heart of our community.”
