Earley grew rapidly both before and after World War II, and became a town in 1974. From 1977, the Lower Earley private estate was constructed, almost doubling the town's population to the current level. Two new primary schools were built, together with a large supermarket complex which opened in 1979 and sports centre. In 1988 a second shopping area - Maiden Place - opened. An additional secondary school was planned roughly opposite the sports centre next to Rushey Way, possibly on the site next to the police station. However the school never materialised and the land was built on. There is very little land left in Lower Earley to build on with the consequence that neighbouring communities are suffering the brunt of the new housing developments. According to sources, Lower Earley was until recently the largest private housing development in Europe.

BTEC Award in Driving Science

BTEC Award in Driving Science


Blue School of Motoring Ltd can provide the BTEC in Driving Science. Do you know anyone that has been killed or badly hurt in a car crash? Most people between 15 and 25 know at least one person who has and that’s not surprising because1 in 5 new drivers will crash within a year of passing their test. The BTEC in Driving Science has been designed to make you a better driver from day one, so after passing your test you will be above the required standard and safer on the road.

Contact Blue

Driving statistics tell us that 17-24 year old drivers are seriously over represented in accidents that cause death and serious injury. The BTEC in Driving Science addresses the importance of integrating the right attitude with car control skills in a comprehensive novice driver programme.

Most young people will learn to drive, but not many will gain an academic qualification whilst doing it! The BTEC in Driving Science, accredited by Edexcel, is the world’s first academic qualification in novice driver training. It offers a chance for you to not only become a safer driver for life, but to add differentiation to your CV.

The BTEC in Driving Science is completed over a normal course of driving lessons. It will result in a more fully informed driver with a full appreciation of all the factors that influence safety. More than that, insurance companies think the BTEC is so good, they are willing to offer much reduced insurance once you enrol.

How does it work?

The BTEC in Driving Science is taught during normal driving lessons. It follows a structured driving curriculum, encompassing the European Goals of Driver Education.
You will be taught by a fully trained Blue driving instructor, who will follow the most comprehensive driver education programme in the UK. On completion of the BTEC, you will have gained a full UK driving licence and will have reached an advanced standard of driving, inclusive of motorway and night driving.

Can I do the BTEC if I am already learning to drive?

The BTEC can only be delivered by accredited driving instructors, so if you haven’t been learning with one, you will have to have an assessment drive with Blue, at which point any prior learning can be accredited with towards completion of the BTEC. You can commence the BTEC at any stage of your driving development.

How much will it cost?

It costs £175. The BTEC integrates into normal driving lessons, so you will still have to pay for them as usual. Remember though, post test elements like motorway and driving at night are included and that the great financial benefits that come with the qualification should more than cover the cost of the course itself.

Will it improve my driving?

Believe it or not, the front part of our brains doesn’t fully develop until we’re about 25 and when you consider this part of the brain controls things like impulse, emotion, risk-management and eye movement, it’s easy to see why so many young drivers are coming unstuck. Add to this the fact that 19 out of 20 crashes are down to attitude and behaviour rather than driving technique and its clearer still. The BTEC has been designed to stimulate development of your brain’s frontal lobe, it will accelerate your competence in driving and make you better able to spot and deal with hazards as they unfold.

Can it save me money?

Absolutely, in one word – insurance. The only reason insurance for young drivers is so expensive is because of all the insurance claims they make! A number of insurance companies recognise that by passing the BTEC you’ll be less likely to make a claim, so in turn they’ll cut the cost of your premium by as much as 50%. If you would like to find out how much you could save exactly, contact us and we will arrange for someone to give you a quote.

Are there any other benefits?

There are many benefits, both social and financial for doing the BTEC in Driving Science. On completion of the BTEC in Driving Science, you will be awarded a vocational qualification (GCSE equivalent), which in turn provides you with improved employability and differentiation. You’ll also get some night driving and motorway experience (because this is included in the post-test module); giving you added confidence for when you have to hit the M-roads alone, or perhaps worse still, with a car full of people. If this isn’t enough, BTEC graduates are automatically given membership to a new young driver motoring club (so new the name has yet to be decided!) with many motoring and lifestyle benefits and discounts. Most importantly however, you will have the opportunity to become a safer and more responsible driver.

What is the e-learning suite all about?

The frontal lobe (the part of the brain that anticipates danger and assesses risk) is not developed until about 25 years of age.19 out of 20 road crashes are caused by attitude and behaviour (i.e. human factors such as distraction) rather than any lack of vehicle handling skills. The e-learning suite is split into two sections: highway and mind.

Highway develops knowledge and challenges attitudes in relation to driver behaviour.

Mind is designed to accelerate executive brain functions development, improve eye scanning, hazard awareness, risk management and to prioritise risk and thus improve decision making. It is proven to accelerate the maturation of the frontal lobe.

The e-learning suite is a beneficial educational tool and builds experience of the risks of driving from the comfort of the classroom or from home.

What is a BTEC?

A BTEC intermediate level is an academic qualification equivalent to a GCSE. It is accredited by Edexcel, the UK’s largest awarding body. Edexcel provide academic and vocational qualifications to more than 25,000 places of learning here, and in over 100 countries worldwide. In the UK, Edexcel offers qualifications and testing in more than 24,000 schools, 450 further education colleges, more than 80 higher education institutions, 600 public and private sector employers and, increasingly, e-learning providers. Edexcel will verify the quality of the course and its delivery.

Top tips for your Driving Test

Top tips for your Driving Test
With more and more people learning to drive, Blue School of Motoring presents a guide of Top Tips to help you with your driving test.

The biggest driving test tip is not to book a driving test unless you feel ready! If you don't feel confident, check with your driving instructor whether you are ready for your driving test.
It's natural to feel slightly nervous on the day of your driving test. Don't let this worry you too much. Stay calm and drive as you have been driving with your driving instructor, don’t drive any differently just because an examiner is sitting next to you.
Always check your mirrors and indicate before stopping or moving off during your driving test. Look carefully over your shoulder to check your blind spots. Failure to do the latter will most certainly get you a minor fault mark, and could be potentially hazardous to other road users.
Don't look down at the gear stick when you change gear during your driving test. You should always keep your eyes on the road, constantly scanning the far, middle and near distance.
Always indicate correctly and in good time, this helps other road to know your intentions.
Do not stop at every junction during your driving test unless it is necessary. For example, if you stop at a roundabout when it's obvious that you're clear to go, you may pick up marks for hesitancy. However, where the road sign tells you to "Stop", you must do so.
Don't get too close to stationary vehicles or obstructions. Always keep a look out for pedestrians stepping out onto the road.
If you have to overtake cyclists during your driving test, give them plenty of clearance (about the width of an average-sized car). Don't follow them too closely.When reversing, keep looking round for road users. Never continue reversing as another road user is passing.
Use your mirrors before you change speed (up or down), change gear, stop or move off and whenever you change direction in your driving test.
If you think you’re heading for the kerb when reversing round a corner, stay calm. Make all round observations first , then pull forward and correct yourself. This is a much better approach than carrying on and hitting the kerb!
If another vehicle approaches while you're performing a turn in the road during your driving test, don't panic. Make eye contact with the other driver first - if it's clear that he is waiting for you, continue calmly with your manoeuvre, but check all round first. Otherwise wait until he's driven past you before proceeding. In addition, while you should do your best to complete a turn in the road in three movements, you will not automatically fail your driving test if you take more then three. The important point is to look out for other road users and complete it at a reasonable pace.
Don't panic if you make a mistake during your driving test. The examiner will not automatically fail you. Remain calm and move on. The national pass rate for the practical test is 42%.
It is recommended that prior to taking your test you should have had 40 hours in-car tuition with a qualified driving instructor and then another 25-30 hours practice with friends or family.
These tips are provided in conjunction with Blue School of Motoring - a driving school that gets results for learner drivers in
