Building Schools for the Future

Work has begun on a multi-million pound plan to transform Alsop High School.

Alsop will be the first from Liverpool’s Building Schools For The Future (BSF) programme to have work start.

The work will see mobile classrooms replaced with a new state of the art, three-storey building.

The £17.5m scheme will also mean the 82-year-old school’s existing premises refurbished and the playground area improved.

The BSF scheme will see:

36 classrooms for about 1,000 pupils created, with flexible walls so they can be merged into larger teaching spaces.

The school grounds transformed with landscaped seating.

Sets of three classrooms knocked into two in the 1926 building.

The main entrance moved from busy Queens Drive to Walton Village, with separate ways in for pedestrians and vehicles.

21st-century facilities including a dance studio and specialist business studies classrooms.
