Big or Small driving school , which one is better?

The first step to obtain a licence is to choose driving school.
Many will probably go for a big driving school. I'm not saying that they will be wrong, but we should look at it from all perspectives. While the big driving schools can offer good deals for the first 5 or so lessons, the self employed driving instructors or small schools(with 1-2 cars) can save us some cash in long term. In most cases big driving schools in Leeds are franchises companies, like for example Just Driving that do not have their own driving instructors. Every instructor that "works" for them is just paying a weekly fee for the car and the brand, therefore is his in interest to keep his schedule busy and what better way than make you take as many driving lessons as possible. In short term we can save some money from the deal for the first 5 driving lessons but at the end if take 10 lessons more than in a small driving school it will cost us almost 200 pounds more.
Now on other hand the small driving schools like for example Driving School Leeds may not offer a deal for the first lessons but they don't have to pay the weekly fee, therefore the instructor is more relaxed and won't try to keep us as long as possible. In such driving school one can be ready for his driving test much faster(meaning less driving lessons) and therefore will safe money in long term.

Another thing is that instructors that do work for big driving schools won't worry about their reputation so much while the self employed instructors worry about their reputation and will do anything to keep the learner driver happy.
