# Diana's School of Motoring
Diana's School of Motoring is an independent driving instruction business based in Barnet, North London, serving learners across Barnet, Borehamwood and surrounding areas in Hertfordshire. Run by Diana Hadley, a DVSA-approved instructor with 42 years of experience, the school specialises in helping learners pass their driving test first time.
The business caters to all levels, from complete beginners taking their first driving lessons to more experienced learners requiring additional tuition. Diana's calm teaching approach is particularly effective for nervous pupils, building confidence quickly whilst maintaining high standards of instruction.
What sets Diana's School of Motoring apart is its exceptional first-time pass rate of 86% in 2023, significantly above the national average of 39%. This track record translates to tangible savings for pupils, who typically require fewer lessons overall. The independent school model allows for highly personalised, one-to-one tuition tailored to each pupil's pace and learning style, contrasting sharply with larger driving schools where many instructors lack full DVSA qualifications.
Additional differentiators include flexible lesson lengths (1, 1.5 or 2 hours), free course handouts, complimentary mock tests, theory help and advice, and free local pick-up and drop-off. All lessons are conducted in a dual-controlled, air-conditioned manual car. The school also offers Pass Plus motorway training post-test, helping new drivers develop advanced skills and potentially reduce insurance premiums.
