A know infant and juniors are often different parts of a building/site, but they usually have their own reception and playground, even if that's difficult to tell from aerial imagery if you can't see fences/walls. The infants maybe use the juniors sports pitch at times. County Durham has actually closed a lot of schools in the last ~5 years and opened half as many, to make Infant + Junior schools into Primary schools.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">RE: multisites / cross-sites</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">This would be very good, I'm surprised nothing exists (it's not just schools).

</span>I suspect that some of the NAMES on edubase are actually wrong as well,<br>
certainly for some of the academy schools, although there does seem to<br>
be a little more consistency NOW for adding a new entry and closing the<br>
old one when a schools status changes, so the logged 'official_name' on<br>
OSM realy is just a hook to how the match was confirmed. Now we just<br>
need messages from edubase when a schools reference changes :) But I am<br>
playing with historic stuff to see if I can create a history for each<br>
school from the edubase data. Very much a back burner job, but amazing<br>
what you can conjure up using a relational database ...<br>
