What This Review Covers
The review looks at common safeguarding and filtering components used by schools of a similar size and phase across the region. It draws on approved Edunet benchmark assumptions and any information you choose to provide. The output is an indicative mapping of where your provision may sit relative to typical practice, not a compliance audit or a indicative review opportunity.
How the Indicative Picture Is Built
The baseline is formed from Edunet’s own benchmark assumptions for school‑grade filtering and monitoring. Because supplier‑specific pricing and your exact estate size are not yet connected, the current output is deliberately cautious. School financial benchmarking data from school financial benchmark data is not available for this review, so the picture you see is a starting point only.
Using This Review in Your Planning
School business managers and IT leads in Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield can use this indicative view as a discussion tool. It helps you ask sharper questions during procurement, assess whether your current supplier mix is still appropriate, and decide if a more detailed analysis would be worthwhile before your next contract renewal.
Common questions
Does this review tell me if our school is overspending on safeguarding and filtering?
No. The review provides an indicative benchmark only. Without confirmed school‑specific data, live supplier pricing and current contract details, it cannot say whether your current costs may be worth reviewing. It highlights areas for a closer look.
How is the benchmark figure calculated?
The benchmark is built from Edunet’s own assumptions about typical filtering and monitoring costs for English state schools of a given phase and size. It references common market practice but is not a government‑set standard.
What should I do once I have the indicative comparison?
Use it to structure an internal discussion about your current provision and upcoming contract milestones. You can also contact Edunet for a human‑led review that incorporates your actual data and supplier responses, giving you a clearer view of your options.
