Region Overview
The North West is the third most-populated region in the United Kingdom, with over seven million people making up 13 per cent of the UK’s total inhabitants. It occupies 5,469 square miles with the counties of Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside contained within. The North West extends from the Scottish Borders, in the north, to the West Midlands, in the south, and is bounded to the east by the Pennines and to the west by the Irish Sea.
There are around 345,000 pupils in the North West at secondary school, which are mainly comprehensive apart from Trafford, which is wholly selective. Lancashire consistently achieves some of the best results in the country at A level and has some grammar schools, as do Wirral, Liverpool and Cumbria.
