As an educational charity committed to the advancement of education through digital innovation, LGfL’s mission is to ‘save schools money and keep children safe’. As a community of over 3000 schools based across London and the UK, it achieves this through using its substantial economies of scale to make purchases on behalf of its schools, providing significant savings on software, training and award-winning curriculum tools provided at no extra-cost to its community.

“It is fantastic to be recognised for the work that LGfL has done to save money for its community at a time when schools are in desperate need of support to maintain high-quality teaching in spite of dwindling budgets. This award demonstrates that LGfL, through equipping schools not just with the tools they need but by providing first-class training opportunities and promoting best-practice, is meeting the needs of the education community.”
Bob Usher, LGfL Content Manager, said,
