CEO Announcements

John Jackson, CEO of LGfL, has some developments he wants to make our customers aware of.

 

Important LGfL Developments:

1. LGfL invested over £500,000 over the Christmas Break to deliver more internet capacity to schools to support increased use of the Cloud, more consumption of video streaming services, and harnessing more devices in the classroom.  

 

2. Thousands of schools will benefit this year from free bandwidth boosts as LGfL moves proactively to future-proof connections and ensures LGfL schools enjoy the fastest possible connectivity.

 

3. Safeguarding investments are planned this term with LGfL seeking to procure a monitoring solution to its portfolio of products provided to schools from April 2024.
