SIC 85530 · 2025 · rounded to the nearest five

These are VAT/PAYE registered enterprises based at an address in this area. Many small sole traders are excluded; one enterprise can employ several instructors. This industry classification also includes some flying schools. Use it alongside actual provider information when researching a teaching business.

ONS UK Business Counts through Nomis . A published zero can be rounded; it does not mean there are no instructors.

English deprivation summaries · 2025

These figures describe relative deprivation in areas. They do not tell you whether an individual can afford lessons or qualifies for support. Lower-tier and upper-tier summaries use different comparison groups. Explore the original measures below; ranks cannot be compared with another UK nation’s index.
