Question PPL Training around Milton Keynes, need help

I am living near Milton Keynes now and I decided to start with my PPL around July. I thought that I first do all the theory exams including the practical Radio exam.

Now I have a few questions:

1. Should I get the Medical class 1 or 2. I read that the Medical Class 1 is now around 320 GBP. What do I get charged normally for a Medical Class 2? If I do the class 1 how long is it valid and when I need to renew it can I renew it as a class 2 and what does it cost. Can somebody recommend a doctor for the class 2 medical in my area. I probably won`t fly professional in the next few years.

2. Where can I take the theory exams in my area. I thought that Cranfield would be a possibility. How much do the flight schools charge for every exam. Can I study for the practical Radio exam by my own and pass it without a course in a flight school?

3. Which flight school would you recommend around Milton Keynes. The other option is that I go to the US during the winter for 4 weeks.

I would be grateful if you could answer some of my questions.
