Edgeley & Shaw Heath Local Area Guide
Lessons around Edgeley and Shaw Heath use real local roads including Edgeley Road, Hardcastle Road and Shaw Heath, 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 Alexandra Park for early manoeuvre practice before stepping up to busier sections of Edgeley Road.
Test centre: most SK3 learners 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.
“Genuinely friendly and properly prepared me for Sale Driving Test Centre (or Stockport pupils sometimes use Cheadle Hulme routes)'s usual test routes, not just generic theory.” – Charlie, SK3
