This page is a helpful starting point for school business managers in Sheffield and South Yorkshire who would like to compare their broadband spending against indicative benchmarks. It shows how a review might help a school understand whether its connectivity costs are broadly in line with peer estimates, before committing to any supplier discussion.

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.
Broadband is an operational essential, but pricing varies widely between suppliers, contracts and school sites. Many schools and trusts find it difficult to gauge whether their annual connectivity spend is reasonable without an independent comparison. An indicative benchmark can help you see if your costs are broadly in line with typical ranges and highlight where a closer look might be useful.
A review compares your current contract details—when available—against approved Edunet benchmark assumptions and operator inputs. It uses what public data is available to offer an indicative view. Where data is missing, such as the school’s actual annual spend, the output is clearly marked as a starting point, not a final saving figure.
We work with school business managers across Sheffield and the wider South Yorkshire region, helping them build an evidence-led view of connectivity costs. The aim is never to force supplier change, but to give you the confidence that your broadband arrangements are properly benchmarked. Where a review highlights a potential opportunity, that opportunity is always subject to supplier confirmation.
No. This is an indicative benchmark built from available evidence and approved assumptions. Any potential opportunity shown is subject to supplier confirmation and would need to be verified against your current contract.
If your school’s financial data is not available through public sources like the financial benchmarking tool, the review will show what evidence is missing. You can then decide whether to supply your own contract information to help produce a more complete comparison.
You can contact the Edunet team for a no‑obligation conversation. We’ll explain what data would help produce a fuller benchmark, and if appropriate, we can support you in comparing options—always without pressure or commitment.
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.
This page keeps the local review wording separate from the school-specific calculator result, so the evidence remains tied to the selected school.
