Aah, I see... I didn't expect to find it there! St Josephs is in OSM, but as a node [1], which are not included as yet. I think some kind of matching on the name is probably going to be important. Many schools are also tagged with address data, so addr:postcode may also be a good matching key - possibly even tighter than the name, given that schools probably have their own postcode, and that the school names can change.
