I put the addr:* and phone tags on the building, since it is the building that is addressable for postal delivery and location, plus the land line installation was there too. Extracting these to the outer polygon is perhaps useful for school search result, but is less precise. Plus you'll note there are hundreds of schools already mapped in the way described above.

Comment from Robert Whittaker
Yes, I found a few schools without the address details on the amenity object and rightly or wrongly 'corrected' them. Then I realised someone had systmatically been adding the address details to the main building instead, so I didn't do any more. It would be good to work out which is preferred by mappers, or if both forms are to be encouraged.
Personally, I see the address as belonging to whole school rather than a specific building, even if you deliver post to a particular place in the site. Since the school comprises more than just the building I's say it's wrong to put the school name on the building. (Also for larger schools the individual buildings may well have their own names.)
FYI, in the UK there are over 13,000 schools with postcodes, equating to around 45% of the total. (Data from http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/progress/ to nodes are not included in either count.)
