London Grid for Learning

London Grid for Learning

The London Grid for Learning provides a filtered broadband connection, network services, a common learning platform, online content and support communities for all schools across London. It operates as a consortium of 33 Local Education Authorities. It was launched in June 2000, and provides broadband connectivity to all 2,600 state schools in London. Over 1 million pages of material are accessed every day, enabling learners in London to achieve more.

Schools, colleges and public libraries access the Internet via dynamic IP addresses in the range 82.198.244.0 - 82.198.255.255, and 212.85.0.0 - 212.85.3.255 (amongst others).

The LGfL now hosts and manages the Pan-London Admissions project and forms the backbone of the London Public Services Network.
