What this broadband review shows

The review draws on approved Edunet benchmark assumptions and information provided by a school or trust to create an indicative comparison. It identifies whether a school’s annual broadband spend sits above, in line with or below a modelled benchmark for similar‑size schools in the area.

Data we rely on – and what’s missing for Oldham

Our starting point is public‑domain information, including GIAS school identity data, alongside internal benchmark assumptions. For an Oldham‑specific review, we would normally cross‑reference published school financial benchmarking figures and supplier pricing.

Because of this, the review cannot yet produce a detailed money estimate. Once a school provides...

Using the Oldham review for your school

By sharing basic information about your current contract, you help us overlay real‑world pricing onto the benchmark, so the review moves from an indicative positioning to a practical comparison. There is no obligation, and the outcome is always expressed in terms of a review opportunity – never as a indicative review opportunity. When data is complete, the review aims to answer three questions: where...

Common questions

Does this review guarantee that my school can save money on broadband?

No. The review provides an indicative benchmark based on available data and assumptions. Any potential saving depends on your current contract, service needs, and confirmed supplier pricing.

Which schools in Oldham can use this broadband review?

Any school across Oldham and the surrounding areas – including Manchester, Rochdale, Ashton‑under‑Lyne and Bolton – can use the review as a starting point. It is designed for maintained schools, academies and multi‑academy trusts.

What information do I need to get a more accurate broadband comparison?

To move from an indicative benchmark to a practical comparison, we need your school’s current annual broadband spend and an outline of your service requirements. With that, we can overlay supplier pricing and give you a clearer view of your options.

Broadband resilience and contract review

The broadband review focuses on connectivity, contract review and resilience. It treats the calculator result as a prompt for a closer school-specific check, not a confirmed saving.

Oldham school context

This page keeps the local review wording separate from the school-specific calculator result, so the evidence remains tied to the selected school.
