If you look in the first table, you'll see that Edubase school 118987 "St Joseph's Convent Independent Preparatory School" has been matched with OSM way 142625579. As I said, the matching is rather simplistic. I currently just go through each Edubase entry in turn and take the closest as-yet-unmatched OSM amenity=school object to the postcode centroid. Once an Edubase entry has taken an OSM object, that OSM object is no longer a potential matching candidate for any other Edubase Entries. I can probably improve the matching by preferring an exact name match if one exists. Fuzzy name matching may be a bit harder.
