The Famous "Spotty Car" & Community Charity Work
You may have already spotted our iconic car driving around Hastings and Bexhill, covered from bumper to bumper in vibrant colored spots!
We are proud supporters of the Big Learner Relay, an incredible nationwide driving instructor initiative raising vital funds for BBC Children in Need. Over the years, our community of learners and supporters has helped raise hundreds of pounds toward the national multi-million-pound total. In fact, one of our former pupils, Amber, even served as the lead driver for the Hastings-to-Etchingham convoy leg!
