The figures are first practical car tests (B and B-H) from CBR's school results. We use the CBR registration to group schools by town, with checked address corrections from schools. This does not show where a school teaches. Both the local and national comparisons leave out schools listed as closed in the CBR data. Lesson prices and Google ratings come from the school's website and Google and have their own dates. This is our editorial comparison, not a CBR endorsement.
