This page provides an indicative, benchmark-led view of ICT expenditure for schools across Leeds and West Yorkshire. It is designed to support school business managers, headteachers and trust leaders with evidence-based financial planning. The figures are based on approved Edunet benchmarks and publicly available data where accessible.

Public benchmark data and school information
Indicative
Final savings depend on tariffs, contracts, site usage and supplier confirmation.
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.
The £50–£70 per pupil ICT spend benchmark draws on UK school financial data and Edunet commercial assumptions. It includes connectivity, device refresh, software licensing and technical support. The range reflects differing school sizes, phases and contractual arrangements. This is not a target figure, but a reference point to help schools assess whether their current ICT budget allocation warrants closer inspection.
A like-for-like ICT spend review requires accurate pupil numbers and a detailed breakdown of current annual ICT contracts. Without full financial benchmarking data, only an indicative estimate can be formed. This version uses the Edunet benchmark range and generic school-phase assumptions. It is a prudent starting point for schools that wish to understand their position relative to national norms.
School business leaders can use this benchmark evidence alongside internal finance reports and supplier invoices. The aim is not to claim immediate savings, but to highlight where spending may be higher than the indicative benchmark. A full review, involving current contracts and service requirements, would be needed before any procurement or budget changes are considered.
The benchmark is based on aggregated UK school data and Edunet’s commercial experience. It is indicative, not precise. Actual costs vary by contract, school size and service specification. Schools should use it as a general guide, not a definitive target.
No. Edunet cannot guarantee savings. Any potential reduction depends on your current contracts, service requirements and supplier negotiations. The evidence provided here is intended to help you begin an internal review.
A full review requires your current annual ICT spend (broken down by service), accurate pupil numbers, and details of contract end dates. Without this data, any comparison remains indicative only.
The ICT spend review looks at per-pupil spend, top-20 comparator context and budget review signals. It does not change the calculator values or replace a finance-led review.
For Leeds and West Yorkshire schools, the page separates the selected-school calculation from the wider area view so the result stays tied to the confirmed school record.
