Does the FARs not require a pilot to hold a vadid IR ticket before flying IFR?
Unless one restricts onself to circuits and bumps within a zone where ATC give you Special VFR, then US PPL holders without an IR can not fly enroute in the UK at night.
As for "JAR Compliant PPL". Only licenses with "Issued oin accordance with JAR-FCL" or words to that effect are JAR compliant. Next thing this type of school will be doing is advertising ICAO compliant NPPL Microlight Licenses. After all if you get a microlight licence and do lots of extra training, exams and tests, one can get an ICAO PPL!
