[Talk-GB] School mapping - Who's involved

[Gregory]

Hello,

1) I think isced:level is really helpful, as I've known people wanting a
list of "all primary schools nearby" for various jobs. Is there a map/list
that shows schools with that tag or not? Maybe something like ITO World's
maps?
1b) Ah, they have one for name/no-name, might be good to request
isced:level there too (or if it has the ID).

1c) I'm being silly and forgetting how easy Overpass API is now. But it
doesn't allow two queries at once and to visually compare the difference.

2a) What tag are people using for the ID?
2b) Presumably the only way to get the/an ID is from the gov.uk data? It's
copyright doesn't allow use, but perhaps using it for the ID is okay? So
far this quarter I have been using OS StreetView or googling for a website
as a name source. As a result, all the schools I've edited/added in the
last month have a "website" tag.

Btw, County Durham is very annoying. Since maybe 3 years ago they have been
combining schools (juniors & infants into primary, or two villages now
having 1 school to share, plus all the academy-type name & management
changes). Probably a good time for this enjoyable project then! Meanwhile
my landlady's job involves visiting schools all over the county. Anyone got
a long lasting camera & a GPS logger I can secretly strap to her car/bag?
