Why Review School Communication Contracts?
Telecoms and VoIP contracts often auto-renew, and pricing structures change over time. By reviewing your contract against approved benchmarks, you can see whether your costs are broadly in line with similar schools. This is not about assured outcomes; it is about having a clearer view of your options before you commit to another term.
How the Review Works
Our review uses a cautious 17% saving assumption, applied only when your current spending data is available. Because your school’s actual spend is not included here, we cannot calculate an estimate. When you provide your annual communication spend, the calculator applies this assumption alongside approved benchmarks to produce an indicative opportunity.
What You Need to Provide
For an indicative review, you will need your school’s current annual telecoms or VoIP spend. This figure is available from your finance system or recent invoices. Without it, any estimate would be unreliable. Once supplied, the review becomes more meaningful and can help you decide whether to explore your options with suppliers.
Common questions
What does the 17% assumption mean?
The 17% assumption is a cautious figure used to calculate indicative savings when your current spend is known. It reflects typical opportunities seen in school communication reviews, but your actual result will depend on your contract and supplier.
Why can’t I see a saving for my school?
Because your school’s current annual spend data is not yet provided. Without that figure, we cannot apply the assumption. Once you enter your spend, you will see an indicative opportunity based on the 17% assumption.
Is this an assured saving?
No. This is an indicative estimate only. Any final saving depends on your current contracts, service requirements and supplier confirmation. You should use this as a helpful starting point, not a commitment.

Telecoms and VoIP review evidence
The telecoms and VoIP review keeps assumptions cautious. Any 17% telecoms signal is only used where the supporting evidence allows it, and the page does not use a 30% claim.
Sheffield 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.
