Start lessons on the village streets to build clutch and clutch control, and practice pulling out from narrow driveways and passing parked cars. Spend time on the lanes around Haddenham to get used to blind bends and occasional farm traffic or cyclists.

Book some lessons that focus on approaching and leaving the town to get comfortable with different traffic speeds.
