The history of Lancashire began with its founding in the 12th century but its emergence as a major commercial region came during the Industrial Revolution, with Liverpool and Manchester growing into the largest cities in the surrounding area.
Despite its industrial past, Lancashire still offers its residents plenty of opportunity to enjoy country living, with a surprising 80 per cent of the county officially classed as rural.
The county is also home to longest canal in Britain, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which flows through large parts of Lancaster. The Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Beauty, covers a huge portion of the region and is the size of New York City!

The Clitheroe area in particular has a good range of modern secondary schools. Sixth form provision is limited with only the Fylde and Lancaster districts having a number of schools with sixth forms, with the rest depending on FE colleges and sixth form colleges.
There are only four state Grammars and competition for places is high. Kirkham Grammar achieved significantly impressive GCSE results which well exceeded national averages.
