I note the edubase website has Eastings & Northings. If they're more
accurate than postcode centroids is there a way to
'scrape' the website as they don't appear to be in the downloaded database?

A third update on the quarterly project.
0. The what project?
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Quarterly_Projects
1. Open Data Manchester
Following a tweet Open Data Manchester have asked whether anyone can
go and show them how to map. Looks like their next meeting is Monday
February 1st, 6.30 – 8.30pm. Any volunteers?
2. Edits continue at pace.
For those adding #OSMSchools to their changeset comments (sorry no way
to go back and add it if you forget) we reached a high of 258
changesets on 18th Jan. The map is starting to look well covered
(although some gaps missingso please continue to use this in your
changesets). See
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-changesets?comment=OSMschool#6/53.495/-3.549
3. 175 people have done 5351 edits
Amazing numbers measured by Harry's tracker. Looks like Uganda has
joined the project too. It would be great if someone could turn the
CSV linked data at the bottom of the tracker into a daily chart. See
http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/diffreader/schools/
4. HS and ZE are 100% complete!
Wow! The HS (Outer Hebrides) and ZE (Lerwick) postcodes are complete.
Thanks go to OpenStreetMapper seumas. Many other postcodes (with more
schools within them ;-) ) are close to this now too
http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/progress/
5. Nodes converted to ways
Following lot's of data clean up we are nearing 80% of schools mapped
as land areas rather than simple points. We should hit this in the
next couple of days.
6. Northern Ireland still needs some work
If you map in Northern Ireland and want to get involved please do.
Each extra school mapped there will help lift it off the bottom of the
tracker. We can also look at doing some initiatives in NI if the local
community want this. Let us know :-)
7. Blogs and video
Please keep up the blogging and tweeting. It would be great if we
could attract some new mappers (a how to map schools video would be
great if you have time to do this). If you don't run a blog then I can
let you post to http://mappa-mercia.org
Happy mapping
