Towns below are ONS built-up areas found wholly inside the region. | Built-up area | People | Built-up area | People | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Liverpool | 506,565 | Rochdale | 111,255 | | Manchester | 470,405 | Oldham | 110,720 | | Bolton | 184,090 | Birkenhead | 109,835 | | Warrington | 174,970 | Salford | 108,410 | | Blackpool | 149,070 | Preston | 94,490 | | Blackburn | 124,955 | Southport | 94,440 | | Stockport | 117,935 | | | The ONS lookup counts 39 local authorities in the North West. Chester's built-up area crosses the regional boundary, so it is not in the table. North West classrooms follow the English national curriculum, and older pupils sit GCSEs and A levels set by a range of boards. Because councils fix their own term dates, we work from whatever calendar your school gives you. Each North West page below has its own project, and the names link as pages go live: [Carlisle](/best-coding-class-in-carlisle), [Cheshire](/coding-classes-in-cheshire), [Chester](/best-coding-class-in-chester), [Cumbria](/coding-classes-in-cumbria), [Greater Manchester](/coding-classes-in-greater-manchester), [Lancashire](/coding-classes-in-lancashire), [Lancaster](/best-coding-class-in-lancaster), [Liverpool](/best-coding-class-in-liverpool), [Manchester](/best-coding-class-in-manchester), [Merseyside](/coding-classes-in-merseyside), [Preston](/best-coding-class-in-preston), [Salford](/best-coding-class-in-salford). ### England and coursework help Our [England](/coding-and-ai-classes-in-england) page explains schooling, and [A level Computer Science NEA help](/a-level-computer-science-nea-help) covers the programming project. The North West project ## Wetter, or just less predictable? Standard deviation divided by the mean puts spread on a fair footing. The learner adds up twelve months of rain for every year from 1961 to 2020, then splits the years into two thirty-year halves. For each half, Python computes the mean annual total and the standard deviation, which measures how far a typical year sits from that mean. Because a wetter place naturally has bigger swings in millimetres, the fair comparison divides the standard deviation by the mean. That ratio, the coefficient of variation, says how large the typical swing is as a fraction of the typical year. | Measure | 1961 to 1990 | 1991 to 2020 | Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Mean annual rain | 912 mm | 981 mm | Up 7.6% | | Standard deviation | 112 mm | 163 mm | Up 46% | | Coefficient of variation | 0.122 | 0.166 | Up about a third | | Driest year | 1964, 694 mm | 1996, 674 mm | | | Wettest year | 1967, 1,203 mm | 2020, 1,326 mm | | The spread rose much faster than the mean, so the coefficient of variation rose too: from about 12 per cent of a typical year to about 17. In plain terms, a year at Newton Rigg is now more likely to be far from average, in either direction, even after allowing for the wetter average. The driest year of the later half, 1996, was drier than the driest of the earlier half, and its wettest, 2020, was wetter than any year in the earlier half. Thirty years is not a long sample, so this is evidence of a change at one station, not proof of a regional trend. There is a technical choice that trips people up. Python's statistics module offers two standard deviations: one divides by the number of years, the other by one fewer. With thirty years they give 111.6 and 113.5 millimetres for the first half, close but not equal, and a report must say which it used. The bigger slip is comparing raw standard deviations between a dry place and a wet one, which almost always makes the wet place look more erratic. The learner computes both versions and writes a check that the coefficient of variation has no units. ### Ages 8 to 11 Plot yearly rain as bars in Scratch and spot which years stick out furthest from the rest. ### Ages 11 to 15 Total each year in Python, then compute means and standard deviations for both halves. ### Ages 15 and up Compare the two standard deviations, compute the coefficient of variation, and discuss how much thirty years can prove. ### Met Office data, our statistics The monthly rainfall comes from the Met Office's Newton Rigg file. The yearly totals, standard deviations and ratios are our calculations, not official climate statistics. Why Newton Rigg ## A complete record from Cumbria What the station file says about itself. | Item | Value in the header | | --- | --- | | Easting and northing | 349300E 530800N | | Position in degrees | Latitude 54.670 N, longitude 2.786 W | | Elevation | 169 m amsl | | First month on file | January 1959 | | Gaps in rain, 1961 to 2020 | None | Comparing variability fairly is central to quality control, finance and science: whether a machine's output is steady relative to its size, whether an investment's swings are large relative to its returns, whether an experiment is repeatable. A learner in North West England who has shown that spread grew faster than the average has a tool that works far beyond the weather. We are independent of the Met Office and the ONS. The data is theirs; the statistics here, and any slip in them, are ours. Growing skills ## From rain bars to standard deviation Years are a guide only; the trial lesson decides.

[Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)AI and variability ## An AI can compute a standard deviation. Is it the fair comparison? Raw spread and relative spread can tell opposite stories. Ask a chatbot which of two places has more variable rain and it may compare raw standard deviations, which nearly always makes the wetter place look more erratic. It may not say whether it divided by n or n minus one. A North West learner who has used the coefficient of variation knows to ask whether spread was compared relative to the average. Knowing when a bigger spread is only a bigger average in disguise is worth a North West teenager learning to code for in 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). How lessons work ## From Blackpool to Oldham, live on screen Big city or small village, every learner joins by video. ### Learners code The student types every program, and the tutor, watching the shared screen, asks rather than tells. ### Year groups A Year 6 in Rochdale or a Year 13 in Birkenhead starts at the right point for their year, with exam names from their board. ### Free opener The first full lesson costs nothing and ends with a clear plan. ### Same-stage classes Five to ten learners at one level, drawn from across Britain. ### Term time Two lessons weekly in term, with the holidays off. ### UK clock Spring and autumn clock changes do not move your lesson; our teachers adjust. Why groups meet online Five learners at one level and hour are rarely in one town, even in a region of over seven million. Online, a Southport or Warrington learner joins the class that fits. Fees ## North West fees Liverpool and Carlisle pay the same, as does each country we teach outside India. First class**USD 0** A complete lesson free, with honest advice. Group tuition**USD 100** About eight lessons a month in a group of five to ten. Private tuition**USD 150** About eight lessons a month with your own tutor. Fees are charged in US dollars only, never sterling. Payment starts after the trial has agreed a course and weekly time, and holidays, missed lessons and format changes are explained on the pricing page.

FAQ ## North West England questions Population, the Newton Rigg rain study, and how classes run. ### What is the population of North West England? The 2021 census counted 7,417,397 usual residents in the North West region. ### What are the largest places in North West England? Among ONS built-up areas wholly in the region: Liverpool 506,565, Manchester 470,405 and Bolton 184,090. ### What is the Newton Rigg project? Learners compare 1961 to 1990 with 1991 to 2020 yearly rain in Python and find that spread grew faster than the average. ### What is the coefficient of variation? The standard deviation divided by the mean, which compares spread fairly between things with different averages. ### Did Newton Rigg get wetter? On our sums the average year rose from about 912 mm to about 981 mm between the two periods. ### Are lessons online? All of them; every class runs live over video. ### Can you support exam-year students? Yes, GCSE and A level maths and computing; we build understanding and never sell grade guarantees. ### What ages can join? Anyone from 6 to 67. ### How much are lessons? The trial lesson costs nothing. Continuing is USD 100 per month in a class or USD 150 per month on your own with a tutor. ### Do lessons run in holidays? No. Share your school holidays and we pause.
