Door-to-door lessons in Hanging Heaton, the hilltop village between Batley, Dewsbury and Ossett.
Hanging Heaton sits on top of the hill above Batley and Dewsbury, so almost every way in or out is a climb. That makes it one of the best places around to master clutch control, hill starts and moving off on a slope.
The village itself has quiet residential streets for first lessons and manoeuvres, and Batley, Dewsbury and Ossett are all a few minutes away when you’re ready for traffic lights, roundabouts and busier roads.
Good-value lessons without cutting corners. New pupils can start from £20/hr, and prices are the same wherever you are in Hanging Heaton.

GOV.UK driving test centre finderWhether you’re comparing driving schools in Hanging Heaton or independent instructors, only you can decide who’s best for you. Here’s exactly what you get when you learn with me.
What pupils say after their lessons and tests.
Pay-as-you-go lessons are £40/hr. New pupils can have their first lesson half price, from £30, which works out at £20/hr. Block bookings bring the price down to £38/hr. Prices are the same wherever you are in Hanging Heaton and every lesson includes door-to-door pickup.
I won’t claim to be the cheapest driving instructor in Hanging Heaton, but my lessons are good value: introductory offers start from £20/hr, block bookings lower the hourly rate, and two-hour lessons mean less time warming up and more time learning. A well-planned course that gets you test-ready sooner usually costs less overall than the cheapest hourly rate.
The best instructor is the one who suits you. Look for a green DVSA Approved Driving Instructor badge, genuine reviews from local pupils, a calm teaching style and lessons with a clear plan. I teach one-to-one in the same dual-control car every lesson, and I’m rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google from 32 reviews. You can read reviews and see recent passes on this site.
Yes. Driving First is a small, independent driving school based in Liversedge that covers all of Hanging Heaton. Unlike a big national driving school, you won’t be passed between instructors: you get the same instructor and the same car every lesson, from your first lesson to your test.
