LGfL Spring 1 Training 2022

Dear Colleague

Welcome to the spring edition of your LGfL training sessions! These are provided at no extra charge for any schools and are a great way of engaging with the various LGfL teams: Inspire and IncludEd (curriculum and inclusion), Onboarding (customer success team for new and returning schools), Tech Squad (including strategy and digital transformation) and DigiSafe (safeguarding and online safety) Teams. 

We also work with our partners (Google, Microsoft, Adobe, BusyThings and Just2Easy) to provide training on their products and services for teaching and learning and those companies/products that fit under the umbrella of the Tech Squad sessions - see the section below for more about those sessions).

A reminder that all the sessions are live (not pre-recorded) which means delegates are able to ask questions and get answers throughout the sessions.

Spring 1 Training

The Big Staff Meeting 

Every Monday (in term time) between 15:45-16:45

This one-hour online session is designed to fit into a staff meeting. It will include training on our most used and versatile primary curriculum resources and demonstrate how they can be used to support your pupils both in school and at home.

N.B The Big Staff Meeting is aimed at individuals, Year Group teams or the whole teaching and support staff team - the choice is yours. (We require just one booking by an individual member of your staff who can then share the joining link with the team).
