How much internet bandwidth does a modern school actually need?

Bandwidth requirements in education have increased significantly due to cloud learning platforms, Google Classroom, Microsoft 365, interactive whiteboards, streaming video and student devices. A primary school may require reliable fibre broadband with strong Wi-Fi coverage throughout the building, while larger secondary schools and colleges often benefit from uncontended leased lines with symmetrical upload and download speeds. The right solution depends on pupil numbers, connected devices, safeguarding systems and how heavily digital learning is used day to day.
