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.

Why Use an Indicative Broadband Comparison?
Broadband contracts often renew automatically, and the true cost per Mbps can drift over time. An indicative comparison helps you quickly spot whether your current arrangements might be worth revisiting. Our tool aligns national benchmark data with what we know about typical pupil numbers and connectivity needs in primary, secondary and special schools. It is not a quote or a indicative review opportunity—figures become reliable only when a supplier checks live availability at your postcode. However, the output gives you an e...
How the Estimate is Built
The calculation combines two layers: the school’s own input about current contract value and technology preference, plus core assumptions drawn from approved Edunet broadband benchmarks. Because school-level financial benchmarking (school financial benchmark data data) and live supplier pricing are not yet linked to this tool, the result is indicative only. Where current spend data is available, the calculator compares it against typical per-pupil costs and connection charges for UK education broadband. This approach lets you see if your po...
Using the Calculator for Your Wakefield or West Yorkshire School
Enter what you know about your current broadband spend and the number of pupils on roll. The calculator will show an indicative range that reflects what a similar school might expect, based on available public data and benchmark pricing. It deliberately avoids giving a single ‘saving’ figure because no tool can predict a supplier’s quote without a live postcode check. Once you have your indicative output, you can use it to brief a trusted connectivity partner or simply compare it against your next renewal notice.
Common questions
How reliable is the broadband estimate for my school?
The estimate gives an indicative view based on national benchmarks and the information you enter. It cannot account for your school’s specific contract terms, on‑site equipment, or recent market changes. You should treat it as a helpful starting point for a conversation with a broadband specialist, not as a guaranteed price or saving.
Does this tool automatically find a cheaper broadband contract?
No. The tool compares your entered spend against typical costs for schools of a similar size. It flags whether your current position appears above, below or in line with the benchmark. Any potential saving can only be confirmed when a supplier performs a live availability check at your postcode and provides a formal quote.
Is my school data shared with third parties?
No information you enter in the calculator is shared with suppliers or third parties unless you explicitly choose to request a follow‑up review. The comparison runs in‑browser using Edunet’s benchmark data. See our Privacy page for full details.
