10/10 would recommend anyone looking for driving school to use fordys, my instructor Gareth was a legend, calm, respectful and so great at giving instructions in a understandable way. Thanks for helping me get that pass!

I just passed with Fordys driving school my instructor was Rob. I was previously with another company and was let down as I was not progressing at all so decided to change schools, even in my first lesson with Rob I did more than I ever did with my previous teacher. I highly recommend Fordys if you want to get lots of experience on the road and to progress quickly every lesson.

Stewart was my instructor and he is absolutely amazing! I have struggled with finding the right instructor, and Stewart put me at ease from the very first lesson. I would highly recommend him to anybody, and believe the reason for my success in passing was down to his incredible teaching skills and relaxed manner.
Thankyou so much Stew!

helpful with nervous drivers
My driving instructor was Donna, she was very helpful and encouraging which helped with anxiety. Each lesson was built on what i wanted to work on which helped build my confidence and made me feel supported. I would 100% recommend fordys as I was able to pass first time with only 3 minors!

Ella's the best!!!
I passed my driving test on the 6th of May with Fordys Driving School, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ella was my instructor, and from my very first lesson she was incredibly patient, calm, supportive, and encouraging. She always made me feel at ease and gave me the confidence I needed to become a safe and confident driver.
I truly don't think I would have passed without her guidance and belief in me. I'm so grateful for everything she taught me, and I can't recommend Ella and Fordys Driving School highly enough. Thank you so much for helping me achieve such an important milestone!

Stewart is an exceptional driving…
Stewart is an exceptional driving instructor who combines deep expertise with genuine patience. From the very first lesson, he created an environment where I felt supported, confident, and able to learn at my own pace. His explanations are clear, practical, and tailored to how you learn, and he never hesitates to go the extra mile to make sure everything clicks.
What really sets Stewart apart is his calm, reassuring presence — even in moments where I felt nervous, he had a way of grounding the situation and helping me refocus. Thanks to his guidance, I not only passed my test, but I now feel genuinely confident on the road.
I couldn’t recommend Stewart more highly. If you want an instructor who is skilled, kind, and truly invested in your success, Stewart is the one.
Thank you 🙏🏻

Stewart is absolutely amazing I cannot thank him enough! He was so supportive and encouraging. I would 100% recommend Stewart. Without him I would have not passed. Stewart is so down to earth and super chatty I loved having lessons! Which with previous instructors I used to dread. Would highly recommend Stewart! Can’t thank him enough.

I wouldn't recommend anyone else !
I contacted Fordys after another company had let me down. Fordys have been fantastic! I had a wonderful lady called Amy who was fantastic!! Not only did she calm my nerves, Amy went over things I didn't understand and was getting wrong. It was done in such a friendly way you would think you were out with one of your mates. I can honestly say I learnt more information with Amy in every lesson I had. I wouldn't recommend any other company. As I find the other 3 companies I had constantly let me down with cancelled lessons, finishing lessons early when you still had 30 mins left and giving you the feeling you aren't learning much. Fordys are the complete opposite of this! They do give you value for your money and they speak/ treat you with respect. I will only ever recommend Fordys!!! Thank you so much Amy for making my lessons fun that I understood everything that resulted in my pass with you. X

The instructor (s)
Jo as a driving instructor is hands down the best ive had and lead me to pass almost flawlessly, with her patience and guidance i dont think i couldve asked for a better instructor on my journey
Ontop of this i want to give a shout to Tony aswell for his hand in helping me look over bay parking mere minutes before the test.
These two are close to being a greater duo than Shaggy and Scooby Doo

Massive thank you to my instructor AMY MORGAN!!
I can't recommend Amy Morgan enough! She has been an incredible driving instructor from start to finish. Her patience, encouragement, and belief in me made such a difference to my confidence.
I originally had my driving test booked for August 5th, but Amy encouraged me to look for an earlier test because she genuinely believed I was ready. That confidence in me meant so much.
I failed my mock test because my nerves got the better of me, and Amy was just as surprised as I was. She knew I was capable of driving much better and never let that knock my confidence. Instead, she kept encouraging me, helped me work through my nerves, and reminded me to believe in myself.
Thank you, Amy, for all your support, patience, and for always believing in me, even when I doubted myself. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor, and I'm so grateful for everything you've done. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking to learn to drive!

I had William as a driving instructor (automatic) after having 3 previous driving instructors before they have been no where near as good as William. He believed in me, reassured more and had loads of confidence. Wouldn’t have passed without all his help and support will 100% recommend William to everyone. Passed after 6 lessons.

Couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Perfect!
My instructor (Alanna Smedley) was excellent from start to finish. Thanks to her patience and expertise, I managed to pass my test today first try with confidence! I'm very grateful for all the advice she has given me along the way.
