If your school is a Dept of Education (State) School you will find that there are specific standards that you must comply with. New buildings will be wired to these standards and they should also be connected to the MDF, which is either near the main router or in the library, by the contractor as part of their contract. Between building is usually fibre and cat5e cable is used within. You can choose slower switches, but Gigabit seems to be the most common choice in schools at the moment.
