Please have a look around and see what we're all about, and if you've got a question, feel free to drop us a message. Sandgate driving school was formed in 1978 - the same year that Terry Hughes, a former professional disc jockey, qualified as a Department of Transport driving instructor. Terry trained with Thanet School of Motoring and after 3 years he started his own driving school known as Wes
t End School of Motoring. All Approved Driving Instructors are regularly tested and graded by the DSA. Terry is currently a grade A instructor - the highest grade. Over a period of 44 years, Terry has consistently achieved grades of 5 and 6.and now the new grade A
In 1996 Terry attended South Kent College and Canterbury Christchurch College in 1997. He achieved a Certificate in Education (post compulsory education) which means he is a qualified classroom teacher for 16+. Included in that qualification are D32 and D33 which are formal and informal assessors qualifications. In 2002 Terry passed an NVQ level 3 in driving instruction. He passed the Institute of Advanced Motorists test in 1990 and the ROSPA advanced test in 1999. In the course of any one year Terry would expect 50% of his pupils to pass the driving test at the first attempt. Of the 50% remaining, 75% will pass at the second attempt and, BLESS THEM, there are some people who take a little longer to reach their target. However, no-one is unteachable, it is practice and patience that will eventually get the desired result. We are pleased to welcome my Son Lee Hughes into the family business and as of the 15th March 2022 will be available to take bookings for Driving Lessons . He has a dual controlled Peugeot 208.
