Hi BZ

I put all other data relating to the whole school (name, address, website etc) on the boundary way. Many organisations such as schools, universities & hospitals etc have distinctive departments. These can be identified by adding names to each building.

That gives a total of 32,318 schools. Taginfo shows 27,191 schools

nodes only. It would be great to have these as polygons and
associated buildings. It would also be great to have close to 100%
coverage.

This data comes from a cursory web search. If anyone has better or
newer data, it's welcome.

 From experience I would say schools are the entities that are most
likely to be mapped with duplicating nodes & polygons, so I'm unsure
if those numbers are truly representative. I've even noticed that
individual school buildings are occasionally tagged as amenity=school
causing a similar problem to Cambridge University..

The boundary polygon should include not only the buildings &
playgrounds, but recreation grounds/sports pitches

Local school here (Denbighshire, Wales) has been shown as a boundary
polygon with tag amenity=school and the main school building is a
polygon within the boundary tagged as building=school. Both polygons
have a name tag which is the same (Ysgol Hiraddug).

Is this the right way to tag?
