# Scan School of Motoring - Business Description
Scan School of Motoring is Rossendale's longest-established driving school, founded in 1980 by Frank Scanlon. Now run by his son Andrew Scanlon, the school brings together four decades of driving instruction expertise with a fresh approach rooted in professional coaching excellence.
Andrew's background as a high-performance swim coach for 24 years—including work with the GBR Para Swimming Team at Paralympic Games and World Championships—has shaped a distinctly learner-centred teaching philosophy. He applies proven coaching methodologies to driving instruction, tailoring lessons to individual learning styles and needs.
The school specializes in automatic transmission lessons exclusively, removing the complexity of manual gear changes for learners who want to focus on core driving skills. They cater to all experience levels: complete beginners, experienced drivers seeking refresher training, motorway confidence building, and those requiring a change of instructor.
What sets Scan apart is their genuine personal touch combined with professional expertise. Rather than generic instruction, Andrew delivers bespoke lessons that adapt to each client's age, ability and objectives. The school's 40-year reputation in the Rossendale Valley and surrounding areas reflects consistent quality, patience and approachability—qualities Frank established and Andrew continues to develop.
This is a family-run business where coaching excellence meets local knowledge, delivering practical, confidence-building driver training for the entire community.
