The special assembly encourages young people to PAUSE, REFLECT and REMEMBER all those whose lives have been affected by Covid 19. It begins with a lovely Celtic prayer recited by students from Arnot St Mary CE School which involves the lighting of three candles. ![](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/images/news/download_copy.jpg) Mr Sean Mottram, Deputy Headteacher at Alsop comments: “As a school we decided to mark this important day with a special assembly. Since 23rd March 2020 we have journeyed together during difficult times. We have experienced the closure of schools and the development of on-line learning. *“At Alsop we never closed …… we adapted, and we are proud to say that we’ve worked through the challenge of Covid TOGETHER with a real team effort. It has been a partnership between staff, students and parents. However, these have been difficult days. We have all been affected by the pandemic and thankfully as a school community we have grown stronger.”* The school is asking students to connect with someone who is grieving. This might be in simple ways such as having a chat with them, sending a card, a message, or giving them some spring flowers. During the week Alsop students will plant seeds in memory of those who have died and tie yellow ribbons on the railings. Staff and community members will also be encouraged to light candles to “Share a LIGHT” at 8pm ![](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/images/news/download-1_copy.jpg) **The Act of Collective worship can be downloaded here:** **** [ 40 Acts of Kindness at Alsop High](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/news/2021-03-10-40-acts-of-kindness-at-alsop-high) [Autism Awareness and Acceptance Week at Alsop ](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/news/2021-04-05-autism-awareness-and-acceptance-week-at-alsop) ### Our School - [Welcome from Executive Principal](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/welcome-from-our-headteacher) - [About our School](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school) - [Vision and Values](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/values-and-ethos) - [Our Learning Habits](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/student-support/our-learning-habits) - [Our News](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/news) - [Visit our School](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/visit-our-school) - [Admissions](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Our Staff](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/meet-the-staff) - [Governance](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/governors) - [School Performance Information](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/school-performance) - [Ofsted Information](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/ofsted-information) - [Policies and Reports](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/policies-and-reports) - [Work for Us](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/work-for-us1) - [Omega Multi-Academy Trust](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Contact Us](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/contact) - [Sixth Form Consultation](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/our-school/sixth-form-consultation) ![Alsop High School](https://files.schudio.com/alsop-high-school-2/images/logo/logo-2_(1).png) **Alsop High School** Queen’s Drive Walton Liverpool Merseyside L4 6SH Tel: 0151 235 1200 Email: ## Follow Us - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/alsophighsch?locale=en_GB) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/alsophighschool?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) [![](https://files.schudio.com/alsop-high-school-2/images/logo/omega-logo-white(1)_(1).png)](https://omegamat.co.uk) © Copyright 2022–2026 Alsop High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.alsophigh.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) Update cookies preferences
