    Lol I lived in Warrington for many years, in Cinnamon Brow. Culcheth is close by there and nice enough but is really just the outskirts of Warrington.

    Heswall or West Kirby are nice enough and have good links to Liverpool and some of the best schools in the country on their doorstep.

    I get the impression Chester is out of my price range!

    There are plenty of private schools, there are some great grammar schools and there are also some good state secondary schools, St Johns Plessington Catholic College (don't have to be catholic) is amongst the best in the country for results.

    I'm afraid I just looked this up and there are about half a dozen Catholic feeder schools. The first one I looked at said they needed to be baptised, which they're not

    I grew up in Helsby and attended Helsby High School. My little sister still attends. Let me know if you have any specific questions!

    My grandmother lives in Frodsham. I also know people who live in Chester and the Wirral.
