What it does

The task

Find the school type schools within distance of address. For each school, read the latest official inspection report, the latest test or exam results, the number of places and last year's admission rules, such as the distance of the last child who got a place. Get the walking time from Google Maps. Put the data in a new Google Sheet named Schools, one row for each school, with a link to each source. Then write a short summary of the 3 schools that fit best for these priorities: priorities.

  • It works in any government site, Google Maps and Google Sheets, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.
