and student success in education:

"This collaboration with Lightspeed Systems aligns perfectly with our vision of empowering educators and students through innovative technology.

The scalability multi-academy trusts need

Dozens of schools, thousands of classes, thousands of students. No problem

When you have thousands of devices on your multi-academy trust network, you need solutions that can scale without slowing things down. The combination of our robust cloud-hosted architecture and our proprietary on-device agents mean you can throw all your devices and all your traffic at Lightspeed, and we’ll scale to handle it without bottlenecks.

"We trialled several competitive products and Lightspeed gave us the best combination of price, education-focused features and ease of use. As a Multi Academy Trust the ability to structure all of our schools under one portal and still have individual policies was key."

David Allerton

ICT Manager, All Saints Multi Academy Trust

The delegated administration multi-academy trusts need

We help break down silos and empower teams—without losing centralised control

Whether you’re a multi-academy trust with 5 or 50 academies you’ll still need to ensure you have the same level of safeguarding and control of your devices.

From KSCIE and Ofsted compliance, to student data privacy, there are a number of factors to consider when safeguarding your trust.

"For us, it makes our job much easier. You’ve got the alerts, customisable permissions, and policies all in one place. It’s perfect."

Connor Bailey IT Technician, Brunel Academies Trust

The integration & interoperability multi-academy trusts need

Consolidate tools to save time and drive efficiency, without compromising

The Lightspeed platform houses the most comprehensive data on how your trust technology is used—from user activity to app ROI to compliance. How you use that data is up to you. We’ve built our platform to provide the insights you need right in the interface or to easily export to your own BI tool or data warehouse.

"With Lightspeed we can change the limitations and access based on whether it’s for primary or secondary schools. We can have separate policies for different schools.”

Dave Munro Senior Technology Specialist, United Learning Trust

The support & services multi-academy trusts need

From pre-sale through implementation and ongoing support and training

Lightspeed’s concierge support and services ensure you have access to all the help you need, when you need it. From implementation to technical support to training for your users, we’re always here to help.

"We chose Lightspeed because the price was good and being fully cloud-based is preferable to requiring on prem hardware. The web-based management is easy to use and reliable."

Peter Farrar

IT Support, Together Trust

Partnerships that Matter

Data privacy, security, and compliance are top of mind for us—because they’re top of mind for you. We’ve built our business around earning and keeping your trust. It shows in the strategic partners we align with, the security and privacy accreditations we work hard to earn and maintain, and the customer relationships we build.

"Lightspeed Insight allows us to see similar systems used within our Trust, which helps us unify our approach and potentially take advantage of Trust discounts."
