Hi - does anyone have any recommendations for a driving instructor for our soon to be 17 year old son?  I saw glowing reviews for Silvano but think he only does automatic cars now.  Thanks 

 

appreciate don’t need to drive in London etc, but may as well get the test out of the way now. 

Nicholas has been teaching in the area for decades https://www.facebook.com/passplus7/?locale=en_GB

But....  noting what you say about not having to drive.,,,,  perhaps consider learning in an electric vehicle as they will be driving them in years to come

If Bumpkin doesn't want lessons in an automatic car they're not going to want lessons in an electric vehicle as you can only get a limited license 🤔

 

My granddaughter (25) passed her test first time. She had been learning on a manual car for many months but progress was slow. She changed to an automatic vehicle with the same instructor and put in for her test within 6 weeks. By the time she can afford to buy a car- there will be more automatic and electrical cars about. Driving instructor was based in Orpington, He advised that more and more learners were using automatics.

Thanks all, my son is an F1 fan who bought himself a simulator steering wheel & pedal set with birthday, Christmas & odd job money ages ago so the practicalities of driving a manual will be simple for him. 
 

I’m after someone that will drill in the safety aspects of driving.  
 

I think F1 is a dreadful sport, but he’s 16 so I give him some slack.  Given the above, think most sensible to learn on a manual as widest use once passed.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
