Who We Are

Barry Driving School is a small, family-run driving school based in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. We are proud to serve the local community with high-quality driving instruction that helps our students become confident, skilled, and safe drivers for life.

Our Mission

At Barry Driving School, we believe that learning to drive is more than just passing a test – it's about developing the skills, confidence, and responsibility needed to be a safe driver throughout your life. Our mission is to provide patient, professional, and personalised driving instruction that transforms nervous beginners into competent, confident drivers who can navigate Gloucester's roads safely and responsibly.

Our Approach

Personalised Learning

We understand that every student is unique, with different learning styles, comfort levels, and goals. That's why we tailor our lessons to meet your individual needs. Whether you're a complete beginner feeling nervous about your first lesson, or someone who has had previous driving experience, we adapt our teaching methods to help you succeed.

Local Expertise

As a Gloucester-based driving school, we have extensive knowledge of the local area, including the roads you'll likely encounter during your driving test. Our familiarity with Gloucester's traffic patterns, road layouts, and common challenges gives our students a significant advantage when it comes to test preparation and real-world driving confidence.

Patient and Supportive Environment

Learning to drive can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. We create a calm, supportive learning environment where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities rather than failures. Our patient approach helps even the most nervous students build confidence behind the wheel.
