I'm also thinking of an FI course but I can't find Northamptonshire School of Flying on the CAA's approved list. They'd be very convenient for me, are they approved for the FI course?

Dont go anywhere else except the Joint Elementry Flying Training School at RAF Barkston Heath Nr Grantham Lincoln.
It will be the best flying you will ever have done and you will be a better instructor and pilot for going there. They do not advertise as it is all done on recomendation.
Phone 01400 230378 and talk to Gary Giles.
Cost of coarse is £5500 inc test fee
Also look up JEFTS in the FI's Forum
Good luck
