School and MSP cost review coverage: Sheffield (S)

This hub indexes every Edunet Portal review page for the S postcode area. Sheffield's education estate covers 562 open state-funded schools — 422 primary and 70 secondary — with around 210,000 pupils on roll, administered by Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield. 344 of those schools (61%) 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 Sheffield 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 S

The public GIAS-derived feed behind these pages puts the average Sheffield school at 373 pupils, with secondary settings averaging 1188 on roll — the profiles that drive the largest connectivity, energy and premises spend. 218 schools in the area procure independently, while 344 buy through one of 69 multi-academy trusts operating locally, the largest being JAMES MONTGOMERY ACADEMY TRUST (18 schools), WHITE WOODS PRIMARY ACADEMY TRUST (14 schools), LEARNERS' TRUST (14 schools).

For a school business manager in Sheffield, 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 S, 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.
