What the evidence shows for Leeds and West Yorkshire schools
At present, without a connected school data feed, individual school safeguarding spend is not visible. The review uses approved Edunet benchmark assumptions and operator inputs as a starting point. For schools across Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate, Wakefield and York, this means a local review is available in principle, but a numeric estimate requires your school’s own estate size, School size information and current contract details to be supplied first.
Where spending may be higher and what should be reviewed
Safeguarding and filtering costs can vary depending on your school’s size, user numbers, device mix and current supplier. Without your own data, we cannot identify specific areas of higher spend. Once your school data is connected, the review will compare your position against approved benchmarks and highlight where further investigation may be useful. Key areas to review typically include per-user licensing, filter resilience and compliance with Keeping Children Safe in Education.
How your school compares and what could be saved
Confidence level is currently low because essential datasets—such as school financial benchmark data school financial benchmarking, supplier pricing and School size information—are missing. No estimated saving can be shown until those gaps are filled. Once your school provides the missing information, the review will indicate how your costs compare with similar schools and whether there may be an opportunity to reduce expenditure, subject to supplier confirmation.
Common questions
Why can’t I see a saving on this page?
A numeric estimate requires your school’s own data—such as pupil numbers, current filtering product and contract terms. Without that, any figure would be invented, which we never do. Once you connect your data, the review will show an indicative comparison and highlight review opportunities.
Is this review based on actual school spend?
No. Without a connected school data feed, the review cannot see your actual spend. It uses approved Edunet benchmarks to estimate what a typical school of your size and phase might pay. Connecting your school’s data gives a more accurate picture.
What do I need to provide to get a review?
You’ll need to share basic details about your school, such as the number of pupils, the filtering product you use, and your current contract spend. This allows the review to compare your position against benchmarks and highlight where you may be able to reduce costs.
