anyone here have personal experience and/or recommendations please. I know you can spot the ads but that is'nt a recommendation of quality training.

The rider is my Son Matt, who lives Suffolk area.

A few years ago I did the Honda race school at Mallory, for an intro it was good. I assume it is still going and if you google for Mallory Park Circuit you should be able to find it.

Thanks for that kickstart. His riding in the Bemsee series in his rookie season and hopes to find a school to help hone his existing riding skills. I should have made that clear in my original question

I really do not know much if anything about bike racing so feel free to ignore my comments. I have raced cars on and off for 20 years and have been to most of the schools around. Without any exceptions they have been rubbish. Schools are only interested in playing at racing whilst charging as much as possible.
What I have found much more useful is to have some high quality driver coaching on a one-to-one basis with lots of data logging.Maybe that is the way forward in bike racing

Still thanks for your input, so easy to pick out a fancy ad' spend loads of hard erned cash and have a lousy experience. Much better to have the comments here as they all add up.
