Ainsdale is a small but affluent village located just a few minutes’ drive between Formby and Southport. Exceptionally quiet in comparison to its neighbours, Ainsdale is a place where many people choose to spend their golden years.
Although there are plenty of local amenities for residents to enjoy on the central Station Road, with an easy commute to the busier areas of Liverpool and Southport using public transport, residents are never too far away from the vibrant city lights. An ideal place to experience the best of both worlds.
Lifestyle & Activities
The peaceful and tranquil location of Ainsdale warrants many of its residents a leisurely lifestyle, with the best of outdoor scenery on their very doorstep.
Ainsdale Beach is just one of the beautiful stretches of sand that frames the North West coastline, providing a stunning setting for those who want to enjoy the best of their local wonders.
The beach is the only beach in the North West to have been awarded the Blue Flag, a certification which is awarded to beaches, marinas and boating tourism for meeting stringent standards in water quality, safety and environmental education. It is with the beauty of Ainsdale Beach that attracts so many local families to enjoy it.
The local council allow kitesurfing on the beach and so it is a popular hobby for families to enjoy during the summer months. As a dog-friendly beach, visitors can also find the furrier members of the family too enjoying the sights and sound of the beach.

Schools
As a Church of England school, St. John’s is subject to inspection from the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools Report (SIAMS), in its most recent inspection in early 2018, the school received a rating of ‘Outstanding’ by the inspector. The inspection cited the values, leadership and church links which formed part of the rating.
Linking with the National Curriculum, parents can expect their children to partake in classes
including the core subjects of Mathematics, English and Science as well as Modern Foreign Languages, Music and Geography.
Other schools in the area include Kings Meadow Primary School and Shoreside County Primary School.
For children who need a little extra care, the Merefield Special School provides education for children with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD), with just under half of pupils here having some form of autism. The school provides education from the age of two until nineteen, with many of the children who attend travelling from across the borough to receive the specialist care.
With the emphasis on providing a higher level of care, all those children who have a PMLD are given a personalised pathway from the beginning of their education, focusing on the specific difficulties that the child experiences in order to explore and develop a curriculum that provides solutions to overcome them. The school enriches the curriculum with multi-sensory experiences to help develop the children’s skills and has a great range of facilities and activities to assist with their learning including physiotherapy and hydrotherapy.
As the children grow older, the school prepares them for their experiences in the real world and students are taken out into the local community often to experience things such as shopping, using community facilities and communicating. In its most recent Ofsted report, the school received the rating of ‘Good’, with the report noting that all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, leave the school with both a Mathematics and English qualification, a great feat for those who experience learning difficulties.
