Magnus has kindly added UK schools to his Mix'n'Match tool:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/?mode=catalog_details&catalog=141
this coincides with an OpenStreetMap "quarterly project", running from now until the end of March, to improve the mapping of UK schools:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2016-January/018133.html
We'll be adding Wikidata tags to objects representing schools in OSM, too.
Do join in, in any way you feel you can.

Schools in Wales are covered by Estyn
I've just submitted a Wikidata property proposal for that:

Although it seems that there are Edubase refs for Welsh schools:

*confused*
It looks like the DfE database includes the Estyn database as "Welsh schools", I think.

There used to be some Linked Data school datasets from the earlyish data.gov.uk work, but the links and I think associated databases rotted.
e.g. https://data.gov.uk/blog/guest-post-developers-guide-linked-data-apis-jeni-t...
https://data.gov.uk/blog/guest-post-developers-guide-linked-data-apis-jeni-t...
I enquired on Twitter, and Dave Reynolds https://twitter.com/der42/status/685887974307958784 mentioned that the dead URLs are available via
!http://services.data.gov.uk/education/api!education.data.gov.uk/id e.g.
http://education.data.gov.uk/doc/school/constituency-name/Horsham?_sort=labe... ... works whereas http://services.data.gov.uk/education/api/school/constituency-name/Horsham?_... from Jeni's blog post doesn't. However Dave also mentioned that this dataset is pretty out of date. Might be worth a looksee anyhow.
