EnglandOrmskirk

Schools in Ormskirk

A market town long celebrated for its gingerbread and weekly open-air market, Ormskirk anchors the West Lancashire plain midway between Liverpool and Preston. Around 24,000 people live in the town. Edge Hill University, founded in Ormskirk in 1933, gives the town a collegiate character that few Lancashire market towns share.

Aughton, to the southwest, is among the most sought-after villages in the area for primary and secondary school catchments, while the town itself draws families competing for school places from across West Lancashire. Merseyrail's Northern Line runs to Liverpool Central in around thirty-five minutes, with rail connections north to Preston. Lathom, Mawdesley, and Westhead extend the residential spread into the surrounding countryside.
