School and MSP cost review coverage: Halifax (HX)

This hub indexes every Edunet Portal review page for the HX postcode area. Halifax's education estate covers 93 open state-funded schools — 65 primary and 8 secondary — with around 28,000 pupils on roll, administered by Calderdale. 47 of those schools (51%) sit inside multi-academy trusts, which shapes how contracts for connectivity, energy, ICT and support are negotiated: trust members often buy centrally, while the remaining schools procure independently through their own business managers.

School review pages below compare a selected school's recorded spend against 2024-25 Department for Education benchmark records for comparable schools. MSP pages give suppliers serving Halifax education customers benchmark tools for quoting, procurement context and sales capacity. Every figure shown on a review page is indicative and clearly caveated — nothing is presented as a confirmed saving.

What the school data shows for HX

The public GIAS-derived feed behind these pages puts the average Halifax school at 299 pupils, with secondary settings averaging 1187 on roll — the profiles that drive the largest connectivity, energy and premises spend. 46 schools in the area procure independently, while 47 buy through one of 17 multi-academy trusts operating locally, the largest being TRINITY MULTI ACADEMY TRUST (6 schools), PENNINE ALLIANCE LEARNING TRUST (5 schools), BLESSED PETER SNOW CATHOLIC ACADEMY TRUST (5 schools).

For a school business manager in Halifax, that mix determines which benchmark peer group applies: reviews on this site always compare a school against similar-phase, similar-size settings rather than an area average. For an MSP, the same numbers describe the shape of the addressable market — how many buying conversations exist in HX, and how many route through a trust head office instead of a school reception. Figures refresh with the published school feed and describe the local landscape only; nothing is specific to an individual school until one is selected on a review page.
