I know they should but have heard of cases where they have not after a flying school has gone bust..

I hope the thread starter does not get put off by all this because there are reliable flying schools about as others have mentioned. Despite this, I would still stick to TOO's original 3 golden rules:
1. Never pay up-front for flying training
2. Never pay up-front for flying training
3. Never pay up-front for flying training
