Anyone else received information about this company in their school bags.

I refused to fill out the form with my address just as I would any other company coming about of the blue asking for details.

We were asked to return it filled in regardless of interest by the next day. Seems strange to me. Why is the head pushing it so much

Anyone else?

Because the school gets paid for replies.
There are lots of threads on here about them. They are a hard sell company that provide very expensive video and workbooks. You get tied into a credit agreement costing thousands.

Plenty of threads on this topic,but dont touch it with a barge pole,the school gets a very small amount of money for every returned form,but sadly many Heads do no research into exactly what this company does(or doesnt do)

The school gets paid to return these forms. There are a few threads on here about it, it seems like a very hard sell company pushing extremely expensive products of dubious value. If our school did it I would complain. Google it, you will come up with some interesting stuff.
