The first week of the academic year saw a record number of over 400 pupils enter the sports fields to participate in several sporting activities. The first house competition took place as all Y8 boys participated in a Rugby House Competition. The battle of the House giants saw Brook's come out as triumphant winners. Whilst the competition was taking place, all Y7 boys and girls engaged in hockey and rugby trials support by number of Y10 pupils. Halfway through the morning the Y8 girls entered the fields before all pupils in Y7 and Y8 took the short trip to Sefton Park for the eagerly awaited 2021-22 House Run. The winners were Y7 girls - Lexi W (Butler's), Y7 boys - Ethan B (Howson's), Y8 girls - Eve R (Butler's) and Y8 boys - Hugo M (Howard's) and Ben M (Brook's) joint first. The final part of the morning saw the 1st XV rugby team take to the field and eventually narrowly lost by a try to Austin Friars. An excellent morning of sport supported brilliantly by all families.

The first week of the academic year ended with the rescheduled 2020-21 Sports Awards. A packed MV Hall saw over 250 families, pupils, staff, and guest speakers celebrate a sporting academic year with a difference. The prevention of sporting fixtures enabled the College to have many inter house competitions ranging from hockey, rugby, football, netball and handball. The audience listened to passionate speeches from LC parent Mr Harrison, guest speaker and LC parent Mrs Lund Ansnes, LC parent and PTA representative Mrs Young and former OLs and current teachers at the College Miss Evans and Miss Pye. Y8 and Y9 pupils Kyrah W and Leo WP wowed the audience with their musical talents. Many pupils, dressed immaculately in school uniform, received awards for their sporting talents in numerous sporting disciplines. A superb evening for all involved.
