Description

Hello!
I am using SN7182 dataset with school codes and have a question regarding the school codes. In the documentation, it says that school codes is either laestab for England and Wales, SEED for Scotland or DE reference number for Northern Ireland. So, I have several questions about the school codes.

  1. Is there by any chance a comprehensive list of the school codes used by Understanding Society with a mapping to postcode? So far, I have been using the school lists from gov.uk, gov.scot and ni.gov.uk. But if there is a ready list I'd be more confident I'm using the right data.
  2. The information I got from the three websites contains duplicates. For example, there is a school in Bedfordshire with laestab 8232121 and a school in South Ayrshire with SEED 8232121. What was Understanding Society's policy in case of duplicate school identifiers?

Thank you!

Best,
Nurfatima Jandarova
