Meaning and Purpose
A recce is an analysis of the environment you plan to use for your project, for instance understanding if cars will be common on the road you indeed to film across or whether the lighting is certain areas can lead to trip sand accidents. This is very important as it enables the producers and crew to know the worst case scenario to come from something, and then plan accordingly to prevent it from happening.
When I conducted my recce I visited both sites where I planned to shoot and I analysed the risks associated with the areas. I first placed this into a hazards and locations grid sheet.
With my home this was very easy as I knew the area very well and could picture the areas of shooting perfectly without needing to analyse into too much detail, below is an image of my home from the front.
Also with school this process was very easy, there were no points of hazard in the vicinity in which I was shooting and no legal considerations to be made as the land I planned to film on was the school and since my project was educational this would be a perfectly legal location to film on.
Both of the locations were not only safe and easy to use and gain access to but they also fulfilled my creative vision for the project very well and gave the right feeling for the film.

Update:
It was decided due to issues wit script that I would no longer film at school but would instead only film with my actors in the first location, my home.,
