Sunderland has been named one of the best places in England to raise a child, according to new research.

It comes as experts from CIA Landlords Insurance ranked the best and worst locations in England to send your children to school based on various factors, including the number of quality schools available, average rent prices in the area and the average cost of pre-schools.

The city was listed as the second best place in the top 10 results, with cheaper average rent and preschool costs than Warrington (both £700 per month) but a slightly lower percentage of good or outstanding schools available (91%).

Warrington was the best place in England to raise a child, with 98% of its 88 schools rated good or outstanding while Kingston upon Hull came in third.
