shinnypants,
from what I have read, you can't go far wrong with stapleford. A very good mod school. I probably would have seriously considered going there but it is just too far for me. Shame really, the course coordinator looked nice going by the website pics of the team
.
On a serious note I think from the advice around, being with one FTO throughout is probably more important. That is what I'm considering anyway when I chose my school
