I contacted New Driver about a week ago. After receiving my details they got back to me in an hour…read more All signs were looking up, I got messaged by a guy called Steve who said he would ring me at 3 o clock that same day to arrange a lesson. Come 3 o clock, no Steve. 4 o clock goes by, no Steve. So, it's getting on for 5 and I start work at 5 so I message Steve to tell him that if he had planned on calling then he wouldn't get through as I would be at work - could he reschedual for the next day? The message I got back was "I can call you at 6", to which I explained a further 2 times that I would be at work so that wouldn't happen. He soon apologised and agreed to try again the next day at 3 o clock. Come the next day, 3 goes by, 4 goes by and again we are getting onto 5. This time I was quite annoyed because it was the second time he had done this. So, I messaged him to tell him in no uncertain terms that I was disappointed and that I would go and try to find someone else as if he couldn't even manage to call at the times HE APPOINTED then I didn't have much hope for the lessons being arranged. He messaged me back, and this is what he said: "Hi there thanks for the rude message, do apologise but my 3 year old was rushed to hospital, sorry this was an inconvience to you, but my 3 year old is more important and sending a text is the last thing on my mind. You have a good day and good luck with your tuition with whoever you find." So, if he is lying (which I strongly suspect he was) that's disgusting. You shouldn't joke about things like that. He's flaky, I believe he just went for some excuse that would make me feel guilty. Honestly I had reservations when I first saw the wesite; it's dated, looks fake. The only thing I was attracted to from this site was the "first lesson for 2 hours but only £10." Like, I'm so glad I didn't give these people (or this person) money and I am uncomfortable with the fact that they have my number now.

It has been my pleasure to have trained with New Driver. I had been training with a national…read morecompany! But realised that the training for my part three PDI test was very inadequate falling down in several areas. Having had a second part 3 test cancelled by the D S A , was a blessing in disguise as now I realise that if I had gone for the test then I would have definitely failed. Training with New Driver has certainly turned out to be the best thing that could have happened as regard to my career as I passed my part 3 test at the next attempt! New Driver are a very knowledgeable company who certainly know their subject! I have been an Instructor for many years in a very different field [Shotokan Karate] but I recognise a good instruction when I see it. I am looking to take my career as far as possible.

Having had many dealings with St Mark's over the years I have found the school, church and wider parish community to be most professional, welcoming and caring for all children concerned. Past pupil experiences can often be blurred. In your reference to their recent OFSTED, the former Headteacher Mr Harrison led the school in exemplary fashion setting high standards for both children and staff. The new Headteacher Mrs Armstrong has recently taken over the helm and we are sure she will take off from where Mr Harrison left and will lead the school into a new future. OFSTED do not grade schools so things can START to improve they grade them GOOD because they HAVE improved!! It is not a willy-nilly process but a professional and accurate viewpoint of the direction the school is going, and in St Mark's case that direction is UP!! Come on St Mark's the only way is UP!

Thank you to the person who supported St. Mark's School by writing such positive comments. I and…read moremany other parents have had and still have children who attend St. Mark's and are very happy with this school. When I first moved here I was told not to send my children to St. Mark's and I am very pleased that I did not take this advice and chose this school for my children. People should not listen to tittle-tattle and perhaps take time to come and look around the school. The children receive a wonderful education in a happy and caring environment and their needs certainly take priority. The staff are friendly and willing to support and help children and parents whenever they can. Ofsted results were 'Good' with some 'Outstanding' features which proves that this is an exceptional school and one to be proud of.
