Boldmere & New Oscott

Sutton Driving School covers the whole of the Boldmere and New Oscott area, with flexible pickup and drop-off from your home, workplace, or school. Whether you're in the heart of Boldmere village or on the New Oscott side of the B73 postcode, getting started is simple.

Boldmere and New Oscott sit at the centre of the local road network, giving learners access to an excellent variety of driving conditions. Lessons typically cover the main roads through Boldmere, the approach to Spitfire Island (one of the area's busiest and most distinctive roundabouts), residential streets with on-street parking, and pedestrian crossings including the zebra crossings on Boldmere Road itself. This breadth of experience means you'll be well-prepared for whatever the examiner has in store on test day.

One of the standout advantages of learning in B73 is its central position in Sutton Coldfield. The Sutton Coldfield Driving Test Centre was previously located on Boldmere Road but has now permanently closed. Learners in Boldmere and New Oscott now use the Lichfield Driving Test Centre or the Kingstanding Driving Test Centre. Your instructor will make sure you have plenty of experience of the approach routes to both centres before your test date.

B73 is within easy reach of several well-regarded secondary schools in Sutton Coldfield, including Bishop Vesey's Grammar School, Fairfax Academy, and Plantsbrook School. We're happy to collect you from any of these for your lesson — but to avoid the congestion that gathers around school gates at the start and end of the school day, we ask that pickups are booked for mid-morning, lunchtime, or after after-school activities. This keeps journeys smooth and your lesson time on the road where it belongs.
