Schools info on Durham local

I'm after some help from Durham mumsnetters. I have a feeling that the schools info on local is not particularly accurate (bought in data). Would everyone out there take a look at the info for the school(s) they know about and pm me or email me on [email protected] to let me know if the data is right or if it needs changing?
Thank you!

where is the school info?

Childcare and Education tab across the top I assume Pudden.

Found my dc's school on there. What do you want data wise? The head and the phone number are correct. Afraid I don't know the number of pupils! Seems about right though, small school. There isn't anything else.

fairly obvious really! DD's secondary info seems fine. Might be an idea to have the schools in alphabetical order esp. for the primary school.

odd that when I post on here it uses my old user name? Have been Gatekeeper for some time now?

I wonder if it is because when local first started you had to choose a different name for it, so maybe it remembers that rather than tracking your name changes on the main boards?

Pudden - I think it does retain your Local username. Thanks for the input Indith. Head and phone number were the main things, plus website URL if relevant, and email. Some were way out of date. I think MN are looking into getting some better info. Some of the schools on there aren't actually in the area covered by Mumsnet Durham. Could you both PM the names of the schools so that I know these are correct?
