Pupil Location Maps

I have removed these "dot maps" from the blog at the request of Tomlinscote school as they feel it represents a privacy concern in that it shows the location of children relative to school and thus the paths they take home from school.  Particular concern was expressed for outlying pupils.

I am pleased that the school appreciates the issues posed by children walking home great distances from school - an issue highlighted by CAM this week in relation to the proposed merger.  I am however sceptical that the suppression of publicly available data will make the children safer.

I will provide a more general analysis of the data later without the need to pinpoint individuals.  We are currently running traffic management scenarios with data we have been given.
