Case Study: United Learning Trust keeps student devices safe with Lightspeed Systems

United Learning Trust protects 15,000+ students with Lightspeed Systems

United Learning Trust, the UK's largest multi-academy trust, was challenged with swiftly implementing a secure, scalable remote learning solution when the COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures. They needed to deploy Chromebooks to students while ensuring immediate and effective online safety. United Learning turned to Lightspeed Systems, utilizing an extended trial of the Lightspeed Filter to meet their urgent need for centrally managed web filtering and monitoring.

By deploying Lightspeed Filter with its Smart Agent technology, the trust could quickly enforce appropriate filtering rules across all devices without burdening individual school IT teams. The solution provided crucial features like Smart Play for YouTube and time-based access policies, and integrated Lightspeed Alert for student safety monitoring. The result was a rapid, successful deployment that protected students both at home and upon returning to school. United Learning continues to use the Lightspeed Systems platform, praising its ease of management, excellent support, and ability to safeguard over 15,000 students.
