Driving Lessons, Theory Training, Manoeuvres
Whether you have had previous experience with another driving school, never driven before, inexperienced and confident or simply a nervous pupil. We pride ourselves in our friendly approach to driver training.
Our oldest pupil to-date was 93
All our amazing instructors will easily adapt to your preferred method of learning. We will not just repeat the same thing over and over, we will find another way to explain or show you so that you fully understand. You can also interrupt us at any moment to ask a question, there is no such thing as a silly question. (Well maybe there has been a few asked in my car but I will never judge, “If I go over the speed bump at 40mph will my tyres leave the ground” was a particular favourite!)
Learning to drive is a skill for life and preparing you for that is something we do not take lightly. We aim to prepare our clients for every aspect of the road, not just learning the mechanics of the car but understanding that we want you to be safe on the road for life, not just pass your test. Since our instructors are such great communicators of this we do not shout at our clients, we aim to speak confidently to encourage these safe driving skills.
We can provide pay as you go weekly lessons, block bookings or intensive courses if you are wanting to pass quickly. If you are not sure what you are looking for then Book a Taster Lesson so you can meet your instructor and decide.

Chris Taylor was a great instructor, calm and very supportive. I was able to pass the first time after my 25 hours intensive course. I would definitely recommend him to other students! Thanks.
I had John Butt as my instructor, and when I tell you I couldn’t of had a better man for the job, im not lying. John was stern but fair and would always try to push me more and more every lesson which helped me massively. Not only was he a great instructor, but a great person! I would 100% recommend anyone to have John as their instructor if you want to pass first time as I passed with just 1 minor. A great instructor and a great man .
I don’t normally leave reviews but I owe a massive thank you to Sophie who has helped me pass my test at my first attempt with only 3 minor faults. I started as a nervous driver and I was very reluctant to take to the road. Sophie helped me through this and has a lot of patience and takes her time to discuss the lesson and re-assure you throughout.
She is extremely knowledgeable and every aspect of the test was covered. Sophie has always done this in a calm and friendly manner. I am so pleased I have had Sophie as my instructor and would recommend her to anyone looking to start their lessons. Once again, thank you Sophie.
Passed my test yesterday on my first try and I couldn’t be more happy! John B was an amazing instructor who was extremely patient with me when my brain decided to give up several times throughout my lessons! Thank you!
I passed my driving test today and would highly recommend Sophie Taylor! She is an amazing instructor and very friendly. Make sure you listen to all her tips and advice, very useful!
Passed my driving test today with John Butt. John taught me to drive from day 1. He taught me how to drive safely and with confidence and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a driving instructor. Not only did John teach me about how life on the road works, but he also taught me how to have confidence in myself whilst driving and this was extremely helpful, especially with passing my test.
Not only is John an amazing instructor, he is also a lovely person and I enjoyed sharing a car with him whilst learning, I will remember the countless conversations and laughs we had together. It was an honour to learn with him. Thank you John 🙂
