School and MSP cost review coverage: York (YO)

This hub indexes every Edunet Portal review page for the YO postcode area. York's education estate covers 288 open state-funded schools — 218 primary and 31 secondary — with around 76,000 pupils on roll, administered by East Riding of Yorkshire, York, North Yorkshire. 120 of those schools (42%) 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 York 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 YO

The public GIAS-derived feed behind these pages puts the average York school at 264 pupils, with secondary settings averaging 950 on roll — the profiles that drive the largest connectivity, energy and premises spend. 168 schools in the area procure independently, while 120 buy through one of 24 multi-academy trusts operating locally, the largest being PATHFINDER MULTI ACADEMY TRUST (16 schools), EBOR ACADEMY TRUST (14 schools), ELEVATE MULTI ACADEMY TRUST (14 schools).

For a school business manager in York, 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 YO, 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.
