RE: shared sites Are there examples of this where it can't be divided? A know infant and juniors are often different parts of a building/site, but they usually have their own reception and playground, even if that's difficult to tell from aerial imagery if you can't see fences/walls. The infants maybe use the juniors sports pitch at times. County Durham has actually closed a lot of schools in the last ~5 years and opened half as many, to make Infant + Junior schools into Primary schools. RE: multisites / cross-sites This would be very good, I'm surprised nothing exists (it's not just schools). Remember amenity=school should still exist on each site because I still want directions to say "go past the school on the right". But a school-specific system could say "Littletown College's main campus/reception is [here] and it has other sites [here] and [here]". Oh, multi sites can be done with relations: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Site I struggled to read that as it's partially to group objects on a site, but it can be used for the flip side of grouping sites across a city. E.g. Stuttgart University: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5294212 >From nearby a disused school used to film the police station in Inspector George Gently, Gregory.
