I don't know the names of all the flying schools in the UK, but by Airways, I assume you mean Airways Flight Training at Exeter?
I did both my CPL/ME and IR with them and they are excellent. They don't ask for any money up front either. They got me through my CPL/ME in 3 weeks and my IR in 4 weeks, both first-time passes, and that's with UK weather!
The photographs on the walls are testament to their reputation. They are a fantastic, friendly bunch with YOUR interests at heart and I will never hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
As someone mentioned above, if in doubt, visit the school beforehand and talk to the people currently being trained there.
