At the beginning of July I published the website schools.mapthe.uk.

Since then more than 1000 Schools have been mapped or improved. The user base is currently quite small so I hope more people are going to use it.

The Database contains about 50,000 School addresses and other metadata and 30,000 schoolground polygons, so there is still some work left ;-)

On the website you find a video with detailed instructions how to use the tool and how to identify a school. Additional information is avalilabel at the help page and on github

This application was built to enable a quick overview and import of existing open data into OpenStreetMap. It tries to demonstrate a possible approach and can serve as a blueprint to build your own Application.

Technical details of the import are avalilable in the wiki

Please let me know your thoughts and happy mapping :-)
