ABOUT MY SCHOOL
I set up Henson Driving School in 2003 working with my great friend Pete at Academy Intensive. Most of my work has come from recommendations and referrals.
Learning to drive can be quite a stressful time for some, and I aim to make it as easy as possible. I like to think of it more as a coaching course, and I am passionate about my pupils learning swiftly and thoroughly the safety and road sense skills they need.
Before becoming an Instructor I spent 20 years in the printing trade. The only obvious transferrable skill I can say i've used is the need for accuracy, patience, and getting the job done to my best ability.
I've been thinking a lot about the future and as we have all been through a very difficult time with the Covid-19 pandemic, I hope we will be able to build a cleaner and more caring society, so I've just invested in the first fully electric car in my area. Your automatic lessons will be in a car with high eco-friendly credentials. My manual car is alas, still a diesel, but with the lowest CO2 rating possible.
I hope to see you soon on the road to passing your test, and I hope to make that journey as easy and as short as possible.
Yours, Simon Henson
