Yeah... I read some of those points too. I have spoken with the staff there and the situation is ok now. Going out there to see the place is the best way and I know only too well what rumours on this network Can do (but if you worked there then ... eyebrow raised greatly and now listening for gossip!).
I still think this is a great school, and hopefully this trip will confirm that. Sure the weather's not as good as Jerez, but even Jerez is having bad weather at the moment (I have been reliably informed!)... and personally I think learning in 'less good' weather (i.e. Oxford, Cabair, West Mich) is very very benificial. I've flown in some pretty naff conditions in gliding and this enables you to handle most weather (within reason) with confidence...
It's about -4'C out there at the mo, so if my frozen mass makes it back to the UK I'll check back here...
