Data sources & licences
BroadBricks school and transit layers use OPEN DATA only. Each dataset below is listed with its licence, how often we refresh it, and its review status. We attribute every source as its licence requires.
School locations and boards shown from open data. We do not publish rankings; any future scores will be sourced, dated and shown factually.
School attendance boundaries are shown only where a board publishes them; elsewhere we say “boundary data unavailable” rather than guessing a line. Commute times are coarse estimates from open transit data, never a live routed trip.
