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.

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

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.
