Simon, I like the work that you guys have been doing. I hope something comes of this. Part of what is disappointing is that until they don't release reasonable amount of data. Forget innovation, nothing will come of it.
Case in point is that I'm interested in finding out good schools that my daughter can go to.
I've had a look at EduBase. I can't tell if a school is any good or not. Or if they would admit my child or not. I can get more information from http://www.dcsf.gov.uk http://www.dcsf.gov.uk or go to the local council website and download the admissions criteria.
Every school has a different admission criteria. Some care about how close you live to the school, some about where you worship or how christian you are. So if you have a child who is close to school going age and you want to work out what is the best school to send him/her to, you need to do lots of leg work. I thought about building such an app.
I don't understand what you can do with the address, name of school, pupil age and head teacher name. Isn't it easier to write a crawler for http://www.dcsf.gov.uk http://www.dcsf.gov.uk
