It is situated south of the terminus of the M62, near the junction (Childwall Fiveways) of B5178 and Queens Drive (A5058).

Collaborations

Childwall Academy works with King David High School, Broadgreen International School, St. Francis of Assisi Academy and Liverpool Community College, resulting in large range of courses for students of varying abilities.

History

Grammar school

It was known as Holt High School on Queen's Drive. It had around 600 boys and a three-form entry in the early 1960s.

Comprehensive

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