Bellamy's Driving School

Fantastic experience: Peter Bellamy is an amazing driving instructor—super patient, calm, and really knows how to boost your confidence. Thanks to his great teaching, I passed my test first time with just three minor faults. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Fantastic experience: I had an intensive course with Peter. Peter was very friendly and amazing teacher. He helped me book my test with a great turn around time I ended up passing with only 2 minors thanks so much Peter I’m over the moon

Fantastic experience: In June I completed a young driver session with Peter at dunsfold this was a great help when I came to our first lesson together in September after 15 hours worth of lessons I passed my test 1st time Peter is a great instructor and left no stone unturned when getting prepared for the test

Fantastic experience: I contacted Peter a few weeks ago to book an intensive course... I suggested 30+ hours, and he convinced me I'd only need 24 due to previous motorcycle experience. I booked time off from work and smashed the lessons out in 6 days across a week and a half. Peter has been incredibly helpful with scheduling issues and making sure I got the maximum time on the road. I cannot recommend him enough! always made me feel super comfortable and confident behind the wheel!

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, gave me everything I needed to pass, friendly and very knowledgeable, definitely recommend! I did an intensive course with Peter for Burgess Hill test center.

Fantastic experience: I passed my test with Bellamy Driving School. I did a four-day intensive course with Peter followed by a practical test the following day. Peter was truly brilliant from start to finish. His course was expertly tailored to cover everything needed to learn to drive with confidence and pass my test. Peter was patient and supportive. Having failed a number of tests 17-years ago I had all but given up, I had a tight window to complete the intensive course and test, Peter managed to secure a test at the conclusion of 16 hours of tuition. I could not speak more highly of Bellamy's Driving School!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend. Such a great teacher. So patient with first time drivers

Fantastic experience: My son had an absolutely amazing experience getting behind the wheel at 15 years of age. From the moment we arrived Peter made him feel welcome and comfortable, easing any initial nerves. Not only was Peter incredibly patient and professional, he also had a natural way of connecting with young learners, boosting confidence from the start. The setup for driving at Dunsfold Aerodrome was fantastic, with realistic road layouts that allowed my son to get a true feel for driving in a safe, controlled environment, along with true to life potholes to contend with. :) He loved learning to control the car, steer, and even navigate through various obstacles! By the end of the session, he was grinning ear to ear and already asking when he could come back for another lesson. As a parent, it was incredible to see how much he learned in such a short time, and I’m thrilled that he’s gaining these valuable skills early on. I would highly recommend this Bellamy’s Driving School to anyone looking to give their child a head start in learning to drive safely and responsibly. Thank you for such a positive and confidence-building experience!

Fantastic experience: I have just finished an intensive course with Peter and I'm so grateful for him helping me pass my driving test! After three attempts, his patience and support never wavered. He went above and beyond to find test dates and lesson times that worked for me, and his teaching style was friendly and reassuring. I felt like I was learning from a friend, not just an instructor. I can't thank him enough for his guidance and encouragement.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend an u17 driving experience with Bellamy's Driving School. We bought our 16 year old son a 2 hour introduction to driving to celebrate the end of his GCSE exams and he absolutely loved the experience. The location is a perfect place for someone to practice and gain confidence. He said Peter was very easy to talk to and felt he learnt a lot during the session at Dunsfold and has made him keen to book lessons with Peter as soon as he turns 17

Fantastic experience: We bought an U17 Driving Experience as a birthday gift for our eager to learn to drive 16 year old son. He had an absolutely brilliant time, and came away feeling even more assured, keen and ready to have official lessons when he’s old enough. The surroundings at Dunsfold were ideal with little to no other cars, Peter put him at ease immediately. As parents, it was great knowing he was getting some early knowledge and practice skills particularly around controlling the car before he can start on the road in a few months. Fantastic investment in any teenagers learning!

Fantastic experience: My son really wanted to do a driving experience so we got him a gift voucher for Peter Bellamy’s U17 Driving Experience for his 15th birthday. He went today & he thoroughly enjoyed his 2 hour experience at Dunsfold Park. He learnt a lot & didn’t want it to end. Peter is very friendly & it was easy to organise. Dunsfold is a lovely setting too.

Fantastic experience: Peter Bellamy Driving School I cannot praise Peter enough for teaching me to drive, having had lessons with another instructor it was clear after our initial assesment that Peter is head and shoulders above the rest. He quickly identified the areas I needed work and we put a plan I'm place. I suffer with some mental health issues and Peter was excellent in helping me deal with the pressure and stress of lessons and my test. Away from the lessons Peter worked hard finding and moving tests to suit me and my working life. I cannot recommend Peter enough. Thank You.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor always calm can have a good laugh and gave a lot of great advice to help me pass my test first time with only 20 hours of lessons!!!

Fantastic experience: I recently finished an intensive driving course with Peter and I'm thrilled to share that I passed my test today! Peter's approachable nature really stood out – he made it so easy to ask questions and clear any doubts. This was a big help in easing my nerves throughout the course. What's great about Peter's teaching is that it's not just about passing the test. He ensures you're equipped for solo driving, covering everything in a way that boosts your confidence and safety on the road. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the experience and highly recommend Peter to anyone looking to learn driving in a supportive and thorough environment.

Fantastic experience: Decided to book onto an intensive course with Peter after a 3 year break from learning to drive. He was able to increase my confidence levels and help me pass my test. The lessons were well structured and he was fantastic at both explaining things and making me feel at ease when driving. Would recommend to anyone looking for an instructor!

Fantastic experience: Peter is such a great instructor!! Having been very nervous about driving previously and not believing I would ever be able to drive independently, Peter has helped me so much! What is great is that he doesn't just teach you how to pass the test but how to feel confident on any road and in any situation. He's very calm, reassuring and a genuinely nice guy with patience of a saint and some great banter :) Thank you again Peter, it's been such a journey!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 would recommend to anybody! I completed a 16 hour intensive course and then passed my test first time in burgess hill with only 4 driver faults. The difference in my confidence from the beginning of the 16 hours to when I got in the car to complete my test was staggering! I had also never driven in burgess hill before, and by the end of it, I was confident driving all the roads! Peter helped me gain my confidence, was calm and encouraging and just lovely!

I enjoyed chatting with him during the lessons and learning from his experience. I would thoroughly recommend Peter as an instructor.

Fantastic experience: My 16 year old son did one of Bellamy's Under 17 Driving experiences at Dunsfold last Sunday. He had a brilliant time, and thoroughly enjoyed it. He is very much looking forward to starting his lessons when he turns 17 next month. I'd highly recommend doing one of these before starting lessons, so you can get to grips with some of the basic's in a safe environment. Harry felt very comfortable with Peter, and said he was. very knowledgeable, patient, and explained everything very well. Thanks Peter.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Peter more! Through a two week intensive he transformed me into a much more confident driver. What I found especially beneficial was if I made a mistake, we would pull over and have a look through dash cam footage to see what I could have done differently. Although I had a small amount of previous driving experience, through the amount I’ve improved I know I would not have passed without Peter!

Fantastic experience: I had a young driving experience at Dunfold today with Peter and it was a 10/10 experience, highly recommend for those wanting to get experience before their driving test. Didn’t know anything before going there and came out actually driven a car! While learning All about how to drive in an enjoyable and interesting way

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, very knowledgeable and explains things well. Managed a first time pass under his guidance!

Fantastic experience: From Freya (Daughter) I’m so happy I chose to drive with Peter. He put me at ease during the lessons (I was very nervous beforehand) and is very good at explaining driving situations. I really enjoyed the lessons and this all meant that I passed first time. Thank you Peter for all the guidance and support. To anyone reading this review I would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend this driving company! Thank you Peter Bellamy!!

Negative experience: Massive ego and unable to remove his head from his behind long enough to teach you how to drive. My daughter felt uncomfortable.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant under 17’s driving experience for Ruby’s 14th Birthday, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Peter's under 17's young driver training is a great way to learn the basics of driving without the pressure of being on the public road. Not only did William learn a lot from Peter, but he enjoyed the experience too

Fantastic experience: Peter is a brilliant instructor, with a calm and patient manner which really helped. Any mistakes I made during the lessons were reviewed and explained, and Peter uses video technology and interactive diagrams alongside the practical exercise. Thanks to his tuition, I was able to pass first time age 41. Thank you Peter.

Absolute top class driving instructor #ItsGottaBeBellamy!

Peters encouragement helped me overcome my nerves with the practical test and the use of reviewing footage helped me see how I could improve each lesson. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience learning with Peter at Bellamy's Driving School. Peter is patient, calm and really knows his stuff! As I had lots of hours already under my belt with another instructor, I was able to do a 20 hour intensive course with Peter. What a difference! Peter maintains high standards for you and your driving, which made me feel much better prepared for my practical test and about being a safe driver generally. Peter uses helpful technology in his lessons too, such as dashcams to review your own driving and an interactive app on his iPad to better understand parking manoeuvres and how to take tricky multi-lane roundabouts. I passed my practical test yesterday and am over the moon! Although I've now passed, I've already booked another lesson with Peter to embark on motorway driving. I honestly can't recommend Bellamy's Driving School enough.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructor, taught everything well and Was very good with explaining, I highly recommend him if you are from Crawley

Fantastic experience: Last Sunday my son spent a brilliant 2 hours with Peter from Bellamy’s Driving School at Dunsfold. This was my son’s first ever time driving a car and Peter put him at ease as he learnt the basics and built up his confidence. Peter will be my son’s driving instructor from September and he cannot wait to get started. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: My daughter just had a first two hour session with Peter. He gave clear calm instruction which put her totally at ease. All round great tution, would throughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I came to Peter for refresher lessons after previously failing a test with a different instructor. I only saw Peter for about a month and passed with him first time with only 6 faults, he was a great teacher and helped with nerves, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to take lessons

Fantastic experience: Peter has now had all three of my children on his under 17s driving experience and they have all thoroughly enjoyed it. My two elder boys have both gone on to lessons with him and passed their tests thanks in no small part to his patience and tolerance. I’m sure my daughter will do likewise as she has been completely reassured by his calmness when instructing her - she was a reluctant driver but throughly enjoyed it and now can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the car

Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Peter Bellamy. Definitely a great and experienced instructor! Would 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great instructor highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: My son thoroughly enjoyed his Under 17 driving experience with Peter at the weekend. He felt very much at ease and even though he had never driven before he managed to learn a lot during the 2 hour lesson. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: This was a great under 17 driver experience, my 14 year old son absolutely loved his 2 hour session. Peter was great, took his time explaining things and what was going to happen and shortly into the session my son was driving round the track. Will definitely book more sessions for my son, this will give a chance to get some driver training before he reaches 17.. definitely recommend Bellamy's Driving School.

Fantastic experience: I have recently passed my driving test with Peter Bellamy’s Driving School. Peter is a very informative and friendly instructor that makes new drivers feel at ease behind the wheel. When starting my lessons I was extremely nervous being behind the wheel for the first time, but Peter easily explains all of the concepts and uses repetition to make sure you are able to master all aspects of the practical driving test before you attend. He answered any questions that I had in an easily understandable manner and generally my overall experience with this friendly instructor was very good.

Fantastic experience: Peter is a great driving instructor. He has a wide range of tools he used to help teaching new maneuvers and how to improve using his iPad and the front and rear dash cam footage which he can pull up at anytime to show you where to improve. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for an instructor, even recommended him to a colleague at work.

Fantastic experience: Peter is a great instructor! I could not recommend him enough. He is very knowledgeable, patient and easy to talk to. He has great tech gadgets (iPad & dash cams) to help his students learn. It was really helpful to see how to improve and what needs to be focused on, using these examples. Thank you Peter!

Fantastic experience: First time pass with an excellent instructor: I had an intensive course with peter over three weeks and couldn’t have had a better experience. Peter helped me pass my driving test first time with one fault. He was very calming, understanding and is a nice guy which makes the driving course experience better. Very informative and helped me understand how to improve my driving skills and was a great motivator. Would highly recommend peter to anyone looking for a driving instructor peter was the best!

Fantastic experience: I starting driving lessons with Peter in May 2018, just after my 17th Birthday. I had anxiety while driving and he helped me a lot with it. He worked around my college also. He is so kind and really takes his time when teaching how to drive. Peter gave me the confidence to drive and I’m so happy I picked him. He has an iPad to show you what we need to do for that lesson and the iPad is linked to the camera in the car so you can see where you went wrong. I passed with Peter on May 2019 first time! I cannot recommend Peter enough! Such a lovely guy Thank you Peter

Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving instructor! Makes you feel relaxed and calm throughout the lessons which was really important to me. Easy to talk to. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I was with Peter from December 2019 and little did we know about the interruptions the pandemic was about to hand us. This did not stop his professionalism as Peter always kept me up to date with the new regulations and always looked out for new test dates so that I wasn’t left in the dark. Peter is patient, professional and pandemic ready - you won’t come away disappointed, nor an inexperienced driver! I’m over the moon to have passed first time, and I couldn’t have done it without Peter. Three lockdowns and nearly two years later he’s finally got rid of me! Haha!

Fantastic experience: I started Driving lessons with Peter back in September 2020, as I had no experience behind the wheel before that day i was very nervous, after the first few lessons I had already gained confidence in moving the car from point a to point b. After a long break from lessons due to covid restrictions, we started lessons again in April 2021, I passed my theory test at the end of April and booked my practical for October, safe to say I did not want to wait that long, Peter managed to bring that forward to August, which was good, so planning in my head for the August date, I went to my lesson Monday 17th May, where Peter said he may be able to get my test booked for Friday 21st May! I was a bit apprehensive at first as I wasn't sure I was prepared, but Peter gave me confidence that it was possible, so I decided to proceed, Peter made space in his diary to give me an extra lesson every day that week, and on the Friday I passed my test first time with only 4 minor faults, Absolutely over the moon!!! Would highly recommend Bellamy's Driving school to anyone looking for a patient, professional, helpful and knowledgeable driving instructor, 5 star experience!

Fantastic experience: Peter was a really good instructor, over the months I learnt everything ready for my test and have now passed . He teaches in a calm manner and will rectify any issues you have in your lessons immediately. Thank you Peter !

Fantastic experience: Learnt a lot in short amount of time. Thanks Peter
