Caveat
Final savings depend on tariffs, contracts, site usage and supplier confirmation.
Enter your name, school email and postcode to see the saving estimate. Edunet will email a detailed savings report after the result is calculated.
Indicative estimate only. Based on available public data, benchmark assumptions and information provided by the school. Final savings depend on current contracts, service requirements and supplier confirmation.
Indicative only – no specific savings estimate is available without a confirmed school and live pricing from suppliers.
Based on approved benchmarking assumptions, not live contract data – the output helps a school or trust identify where a formal review may be useful.
The process requires the school to connect its data feed so that supplier pricing can be applied; currently no numeric opportunity can be displayed.
Where spending may be higher
Without a connected school data feed, current supplier pricing and estate size, it is not possible to state where spending may be higher. Typically, variation arises from different contract structures, user counts, device numbers and site-specific filtering requirements. Only when a school provides its own figures can a meaningful comparison be made. At this stage, any such statement would be speculation; the recommendation is therefore to request a personalised review.
How a Bradford school can compare
The comparison relies on connecting a school’s own data – this is not an automatic lookup. By providing details such as the number of pupils, staff and devices, a school can receive an indicative benchmark aligned with approved assumptions. This helps a headteacher or school business manager understand whether their current spend is within a typical range, and whether a more formal tender or market review is worth pursuing.
What should be reviewed and potential next steps
The recommended next step is to request a safeguarding and filtering review that incorporates the school’s own data. This involves checking current contract terms, service levels, and whether the filtering meets Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) standards. The indicative output from this page is only a starting point; supplier confirmation is required before any cost or saving figures can be discussed.
Common questions
Why can't I see an immediate saving for my Bradford school?
For safeguarding and filtering, an accurate benchmark requires your school’s specific data, such as pupil numbers and current contract details. Without these, any figure would be unreliable. The page is built to accept that input and then apply supplier-backed pricing, which means a personalised review is essential.
Is this tool approved by the DfE?
No. The benchmark uses Edunet’s own assumptions and is not endorsed by the Department for Education. It is an indicative review tool designed to help schools explore whether a formal market test could be worthwhile.
What if my school is within a MAT – can I still use this?
Yes, but the process is the same. The MAT or individual school would need to provide its data so that the indicative benchmark can be calculated across multiple sites. This can be particularly useful for trusts looking to standardise their filtering provision.
