History

The school was originally known as Holt High School for Boys. It was located on Queen's Drive. It had around 600 boys and a three-form entry in the mid 1940s.

It became the co-educational Holt Comprehensive School in September 1967, when Holt High School for Boys merged with Olive Mount School for Girls. It later was renamed to Childwall Comprehensive School, then Childwall Community School. After becoming a specialist Sports College, the school was renamed Childwall Sports College.
