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.
When you provide basic estate details, the calculator checks them against approved safeguarding and filtering benchmarks. It is built for school leaders who want an indicative review of where their current approach sits, before engaging with suppliers. The output is not a live quote; it is an evidence-led benchmark that can support your compliance planning and procurement conversations.
Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) places clear duties on schools across Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster and Chesterfield. Filtering and monitoring systems must be appropriate, properly configured and consistently applied. This calculator helps you step back and see whether your current setup aligns with expected standards—our benchmark‑based comparison gives you a reference point, not a judgment.
Because supplier and product pricing, pupil/user counts, and exact estate size are needed for a numeric estimate, this calculator currently shows an indicative benchmark only (confidence level: Low). You can still compare your inputs against approved assumptions to understand if further investigation is worthwhile. As soon as you provide more detail, accuracy improves.
Not in this release. A numeric estimate requires supplier pricing and your accurate estate size. The calculator shows you where your inputs sit against approved benchmarks, which is useful for planning but not a savings forecast.
No. Information you type is used only to show your indicative benchmark result; it is not shared with any third party. See our Privacy page for full details.
No. The calculator applies Edunet‑approved benchmarks to your own inputs. It gives you a structured, evidence‑led starting point—not direct safeguarding advice or a recommendation. Always review with your DPO, IT lead and safeguarding team.
The safeguarding and filtering review considers filtering, monitoring, pupil or user count context and supplier confirmation. It avoids claiming a weakness unless the evidence supports one.
This page keeps the local review wording separate from the school-specific calculator result, so the evidence remains tied to the selected school.
