The London Grid for Learning is a community of schools and local authorities committed to using technology to enhance teaching & learning. LGfL schools receive: safe, high-speed broadband ('fibre all the way', uncontended and symmetrical) managed network services premium learning resources: a blend of commercially-licensed content and homegrown exclusives What are LGfL’s Charitable objectives? LGfL is a not for profit Charitable Trust. The objectives of the trust are: Save Schools Money Keep Children Safe Tackle Inequality Energise Teaching and Learning Enhance Wellbeing How much does it cost? All schools receive the same package, but the annual subscription depends on the bandwidth required (a small Primary might need no more than 40 megabits per second, whereas a large Secondary may benefit from a gigabit per second). The simplest way to understand pricing is to request a bespoke, no-commitment quote for a range of bandwidths at order.lgfl.net Where does the money go? LGfL was set up by the 33 London Boroughs in 2001 as a not-for-profit charitable trust. Nothing has changed there – local authorities are still the trustees, setting the course and ensuring educational focus and value for money. Economies of scale (97% of London schools are part of the community) allow the trust to keep subscriptions low (in fact prices continue to drop as speeds increase!), and all revenues are ploughed back into new and improved services and resources to make sure LGfL schools remain at the cutting edge of technology and educational best-practice. Can my school sign up? All schools — including academies and private schools — within the London area are welcome to join the LGfL community, so read on to find out more or request your quote today. If your school is outside London, you can access the same great connectivity, services and content from TRUSTnet, the new project to roll out LGfL services across the UK. Who runs LGfL? Corporate governance is taken very seriously at LGfL. Policy is formed and informed by the work of various steering groups and committees, which all have a majority of members from London schools and local authorities.
