This is the North West region. Our work here reaches schools in the large cities of Manchester, Liverpool and Blackpool, as well as rural schools from Cheshire East and West to Cumbria.

The region is supported by six Research Schools and four Associate Research Schools (ARS). The ARS support the Research Schools to expand their reach and capacity to support local partnership working.

The Regional Lead works with the Research Schools and builds partnerships to support their engagement in the region.
