and student success in education:

"Lightspeed was one of the only solutions that would work with the configuration of our network and would cover our 1:1, BYOD and fixed desktop estate. The installation was easy and it's intuitive to use."

Paul Read

Head of IT Operations, Headington School

The customisation independent schools need

Different age ranges. Multiple locations. Varying online needs. No problem.

When you have hundreds of students on your school network with different age ranges, devices, and locations, you need solutions that can be customised without slowing things down. The combination of Lightspeed’s robust cloud-hosted architecture and our proprietary on-device agents mean you can cater your filtering and device management needs for any your device, age range or location.

"We have been a customer for many years and have had a very positive use of the Lightspeed Filter and Lightspeed MDM. It works as expected and does 90% of the things we need."

James Wright

Lead IT Technician, Epsom College

The delegated administration independent schools need

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

Whether you’re a large independent school with thousands of students or a small prep school 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.

"Lightspeed Filter gives us the ability to restrict and monitor internet access on student Chromebooks both in school and out of it in a cost-effective manner."

Ian Dicken IT Manager, Birkdale School

The integration & interoperability independent schools need

Consolidate tools to save time and drive efficiency, without compromising

The Lightspeed platform houses the most comprehensive data on how your school 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.

"Lightspeed is easy to use and consistently reliable. It provides a good level of filtering and monitoring for our mixed environment.”

Ben Wakefield Director of IT, St George's College

The support & services independent schools 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 had previously been using Smoothwall and the difference between the two platforms is huge - Lightspeed is so much smoother and more user friendly."

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 Classroom allows for me, as the educator, to use technology and digital tools to facilitate learning secure in the knowledge that students are on task."
