erm... this Query doesnt make sense..

Its basically saying :

 SELECT EstablishmentName
 FROM School_Details
 WHERE    'A' = 'A'
 ORDER BY EstablishmentName

Which will always be true therefore returning everything...

The WHERE Clause must be a valid column name  which can be searched against
for equality.

should perhaps be

<cfquery name="select_az" datasource="WebUserDSN">
      SELECT EstablishmentName
      FROM School_Details
      WHERE       LEFT(EstablishmentName,1) = '#attributes.search_string#'
      ORDER BY EstablishmentName
</cfquery>

(quotes around the string)
