I’m so happy to have passed my driving test on the first attempt, and I couldn’t have done it without Lendrum Driving School, especially my instructor, Numan. Numan is an outstanding instructor—friendly, patient, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire learning process. He explains everything clearly, making even the most challenging manoeuvres easy to understand. His calm and positive attitude gave me the confidence I needed behind the wheel. What I appreciated most was how he always encouraged me to keep improving. He believed in my abilities, pushed me to achieve my goal, and never let me give up. His constructive feedback and constant motivation helped me become a safe and confident driver. I highly recommend Lendrum School of Motoring to anyone looking to learn to drive. If you have the opportunity to learn with Numan, you're in excellent hands. Thank you, Numan, for your patience, guidance, and encouragement—I’m truly grateful for all your help!

I’d definitely recommend Aliba to anyone looking for a driving instructor! 🤍 I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She made learning to drive feel sooo much less stressful and actually something I looked forward to every week. She’s so patient, friendly, reassuring and knows exactly how to build your confidence. She made my fear of driving disappear and always believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself and every lesson was full of laughs. I’m so grateful I got to have her as my instructor, and thanks to her I passed first time! I’ll forever recommend her to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thanks for everything Aliba, you’re honestly the best and I’ll miss our lessons so much!!

I genuinely cannot recommend Lendrums Driving School enough! This time last year, I was absolutely terrified of getting behind the wheel, and now I’ve passed both my theory and practical tests first time, something I never thought I’d be able to say! Cat has been the most incredible instructor. She didn’t just teach me how to drive to test standard; she completely transformed my confidence behind the wheel. Her patience, encouragement and belief in me made all the difference, and I always felt supported every step of the way. The theory crammer sessions were also amazing. Unlike just using revision apps, Cat explained everything in a way that actually made sense, then finished each session with a quiz. If I got anything wrong, she took the time to go over it again until I fully understood and remembered it. Those sessions played a huge part in helping me pass my theory first time. I’ll genuinely miss my lessons with Cat. Learning to drive became something I looked forward to each week thanks to her kindness, patience, encouragement and brilliant sense of humour. If you’re looking for a driving instructor, or know someone who is, I honestly couldn’t recommend Cat and Lendrums Driving School more highly. Thank you for everything!

I passed my driving test today, and I honestly couldn't have done it without Abde. He was so accommodating with my schedule, always making sure we got a lesson in and working around my work hours completely. He was also brilliant at spotting every single bad habit I had picked up and helping me correct them before test day. I used to dread roundabouts and really lacked confidence with them, but Abde broke everything down so well and completely built my confidence up. He’s incredibly patient, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about making you a safe driver. If you're looking for a top instructor, definitely go with Abde!

Manual & Automatic Driving Lessons in and around Denmead

Given the stresses of everyday life and the roads getting busier, now is a really good time to be driving an automatic car.

You may be a complete beginner, or someone who has had a go at manual and found it wasn’t the right fit. Whatever stage you’re at, we can cater for you, and promise you a fantastic learning experience.

Why you might want to drive an automatic car in Denmead & Surrounding Areas.

No Stalling

How many of your friends have told you about stalling, and how they hated it? In an automatic car you cannot stall, as there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, you’re off with no delay.

Hill Starts

Piece of cake in an automatic car, as soon as you move your foot from the brake to the gas, the car will move, no more constant clutch movement, putting on the handbrake and finding the biting point, you just calmly move your feet from one pedal to the other. On top of that – no rolling backwards!

Control in Traffic

{location} has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you will be in traffic quite often during your driving lessons, especially in rush hour. In an automatic car it’s simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car more easily, less pollution, and easier on your feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.

Student and NHS Driving Lessons Denmead

At Lendrums we understand the financial pressure on students, so we offer discounts on driving lessons and block bookings, to help you budget more easily, and we are one of the few driving schools covering Denmead that offer driving lesson discounts. We cover the full Denmead area, and can pick up and return to college/university, so if you have study gaps in the day, or once you’re a bit more experienced, we can pick you up from home and finish at the college/university – or the other way round, college/university to home.

As an NHS professional, we know just how much pressure you’re under, and would like to show our appreciation for your hard work, keeping people safe and helping people recover, therefore we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, similar to the students, as a way of showing our appreciation.

 

FREE Online Theory & Hazard Perception Training

All our customers get FREE access to our online theory and hazard perception training, to help you pass your theory test easily.

Our training platform includes the full range of topics tested in your theory exam, from hazard perception clips, road signs, and the Highway Code, so you can study at your own pace, whenever suits you. Alongside the practical driving lessons you’ll be having with your instructor in {location}, this sets you up for passing both parts of your test first time.

A lot of our learners find that doing the theory training in parallel with their driving lessons helps the two sides of learning to drive come together, since the rules you’re learning on paper are the same ones you’re applying behind the wheel.

 

 

Student Pick up?

If you are a student at college or university, we can collect you during study breaks, returning you to your studies or to home after your lesson, plus we can pick you up from home and drop you at college or university, once you have a bit of experience on busier roads. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
