Duplicate housenumbers on seperate buildings is -for certain- an error, if there are plenty of buildings in a school, then you could create a relation and addr:* it once instead of all buildings, or map the school grounds as per Jo's suggestion. Also a good idea is to create an amenity relation of buildings and address that one. It's also not uncommon that an amenity=school contains different addresses on the same building and even different addresses on different buildings all belonging to the same school. It's not easy to sort this out ... An alternative idea would be to just map the entrances and address those instead of the buildings. It's still 'wrong' if there is a physical tag missing logic dictates.... .e.g building ... In any case.. it's -sometimes- terrible for routing and geocoding purposes due to the possible size of an amenity giving distorted results. So far the theory... I tested it with geocoding and it seems to be supported though. I find exact matches when looking for onjects that only have address information present on amenities, so I can confirm nominatim looks at them. That being said, just discovered I actually mapped this myself in the past to 'solve' multiple buildings sporting the same address data, but also to support some of the buildings having a different address yet they still belong to the same school. The way I formed my opinion is by trying to find anything on addr:* combined with an amenity on the wiki and I remarkably didn't find anything to confirm nor deny that idea. I remember mapping this school: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/205862112#map=19/50.96950/4.44678 Sure enough, just an amenity. In the light of about 111K addressed amenities in the UK as Marc mentions I would think this is de facto accepted but not well documented. So, I'm adjusting my opinion on this now and consider it OK instead of wrong.
