The £6900 offer does include a fair number of things and offers a good amount savings compared to paying for those individually, assuming that what I've been told is correct. The other school offered a 10-hour package wherein the savings was only about £30 or so (and only for the first 10-hour package!) compared to paying for what you'd get individually. That didn't sit quite right with me. If one school can confidently stick to it's prices while another offers such a big discount, something's not adding up.
I've seen a number of schools come and go from Durham Tees Valley that I wasn't comfortable paying up front even with the "huge savings" offered. The schools here opened in 2015 and 2017, so both quite recent, with the "older" school going bust when PTT went under.
You may be covered by a credit card, but do you really want to go through the hassle of getting your flight records and your money back from a school that goes bust? Even if they weren't to go under, what if you didn't like the school or the instructors after doing a number of flights? Can you get your money back with them just charging for the flights you've taken?
Just as I've been told recently --- do your own research, visit the schools, have a flight with them, and go with your gut instincts. My recent thread here showed me as being quite hesitant but as soon as I followed the advice, the path became clear.....
