What Schools Need From Broadband

Connectivity Built for
Schools

🎓
High Capacity

Modern schools need 1–10 Mbps per user. A 200-pupil school needs 200 Mbps minimum — gigabit FTTP is the floor.

🔒
Web Filtering

DfE Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance requires appropriate content filtering on all school networks.

🛡️
Safeguarding

Network design must support safeguarding requirements including audit logging.

📱
BYOD & Devices

1:1 Chromebook and iPad programmes put enormous demands on school WiFi and broadband.

Our Top Pick for Schools
Leased Line + Filtered Network

Schools with 100+ devices typically need a leased line to guarantee bandwidth per device. We include web filtering, content categorisation and safeguarding-compliant network design.

Schools Questions

Schools Broadband FAQs

How much broadband does a school need? +

DfE recommends 1 Mbps per device as a minimum. A 500-pupil school with 1:1 devices needs 500 Mbps minimum. We recommend gigabit or leased line.

Is web filtering a legal requirement? +

KCSIE (Keeping Children Safe in Education) requires appropriate filtering. Schools must demonstrate to OFSTED that internet use is monitored and filtered.

What is the difference between leased line and FTTP for schools? +

A leased line guarantees each device gets the bandwidth it needs — critical for exam infrastructure. FTTP is shared and can degrade under peak load.

Can you connect multiple school buildings? +

Yes — we design multi-site school networks connecting main building, sports hall, sixth form and satellite sites on one managed network.
