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.
Without confirmed pupil numbers and current contract values, we cannot highlight a specific overspend. However, many schools find that line items such as broadband connectivity, network support or software licensing can be above benchmark averages. An indicative comparison may help you identify areas that merit further investigation.
The calculator uses the standard benchmark of £50–£70 per pupil for ICT. Because school identity data is currently missing, comparisons are based only on the inputs you provide. For a stronger comparison, official school financial benchmarking data from DfE can refine the view.
Reviewing ICT contracts, support agreements and equipment refresh cycles often reveals opportunities. Gather your most recent invoices and service schedules, then input your numbers into the calculator. Even an indicative result can guide a more focused conversation with suppliers.
It is a helpful starting point based on approved assumptions and the data you enter. The comparison becomes more reliable when you provide confirmed pupil numbers and current ICT spend. Without official financial benchmarking data, the result remains indicative.
No. The calculator does not promise savings. It highlights areas where spend may be above the typical benchmark range, giving you a clearer view of your options before you speak with suppliers.
Where available, we use public datasets such as DfE financial benchmarking and GIAS school identity records. For York schools, the current page relies on the information you supply and our standard ICT benchmark assumptions.
The ICT spend review looks at per-pupil spend, top-20 comparator context and budget review signals. It does not change the calculator values or replace a finance-led review.
This page keeps the local review wording separate from the school-specific calculator result, so the evidence remains tied to the selected school.
