Edgeley & Shaw Heath Local Area Guide

Lessons around Edgeley and Shaw Heath use real local roads including Shaw Heath, Castle Street and Edgeley Road, so by the time you're ready for your test you've already driven the streets you'll use every day after passing. Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County FC since 1902, sits right in the middle of the area and is a familiar landmark we use for giving directions on lessons.

We also plan around school-run traffic near Stockport Academy and Alexandra Park Primary School, using quieter spots like Woodbank Memorial Park for early manoeuvre practice before stepping up to busier sections of Shaw Heath.

Test centre: most learners around Edgeley and Shaw Heath test at Sale Driving Test Centre (or Stockport pupils sometimes use Cheadle Hulme routes); mock tests are planned around the routes examiners actually use from there.

“Honest feedback every lesson, and routes that actually matched what came up on test day near Sale Driving Test Centre (or Stockport pupils sometimes use Cheadle Hulme routes).” – Zara, Edgeley & Shaw Heath
