The OSM data is shown as a background and also the OSM features
tagged as amenity=school overlapping the OS polygon will be displayed.
It is up to the person mapping to flag it as `already in osm`

If a OS Polygon seems to be too low quality data, you can just flag it
as `not accurate`.
it will then be blocked and not be able to be added via this tool.

The School website is linked if the data is available in seed/edubase

That will always be the case with any data - it should be more more accurate
than older manually added data in osm most of the times though.


If you'd like to improve the help at https://www.mapthe.uk/schools
I'll create an
account for you (the cms is pretty straight forward with in place editing)

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.

1) Don’t drive species to extinction

2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on.

3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above.

OH and make sure to cross check the seed data against the actual schools
data via the schools correct website. Around 5% of the data I added to
OSM has differences to that provided via seed and even seed acknowledge
things are not fully up to date.

As long as it does not touch schools that have already been mapped
avoiding the low quality OS shape files! I spent a lot of time ensuring
school grounds were correctly mapped in the counties I worked on ...
rather than just fixing the nodes flagged by the comparison tools.
