Signed up to this in March and there were some alarm bells ringing then with our Business Manager as they wanted full payment up front but we were told buy it anyway as "the school needs this"!!!!!

sounds like the school will just have to 'un-need' it!

Surprisingly, their website gives no indication about this whatsoever. My sympathy for any schools who've been stuffed.

Did anyone else get an email from Graham White today potentially offering support for Star Lesson?

[victory2015]

Yes i did today,, though to be perfectly honest we are not comfortable pursuing it.. given we have paid enough already im not sure its all above board and not prepared to pay anymore for support.

[josephathon]

Yes we did. Sounds a bit dodgy to me.

The head teacher asked me to reply and say we are interested

 

Although I have my reservations as well. The email was very vague, if the company is going into liquidation then I would have thought any assets like parts and source code would need to be sold off to claim back any debt (Rather than nabbed by an ex-employee). Unless the ex-employee is looking to purchase them theirself

 

Also if we hand over money for the IOS app to be developed which then gets released onto the app store any school can download it whether they paid towards it's development or not. We would be better off letting everyone else pay for the development and then download the app once its available

 

Unless we have firm guarantees and a strong contract I'm going to suggest not going down this route
