Just a quick note to say that I've updated the matching used in my tool at http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/progress/ so that OSM objects with a ref:edubase, ref:seedcode, or ref:deniirn that matches an entry on the official list will now always be 'matched' in my tool.
(Previously the match would only be recorded if the OSM object was within 1km of the postcode centroid recorded in the official list. Also official list entries with a missing or invalid postcode could not be matched at all. Both of these problems are now fixed.) This new looseness in the matching is needed to cope with some schools that have missing postcodes in the official lists, and multiple sites and/or use PO boxes for their official address. However, it may lead to some false positives, so there is a new report at http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/matching-queries.html which lists possible problems with the matching that would benefit from manual checking.
