School Information

Local Authority Membership

The e-Learning Foundation currently provides advice, support and grants to a network of over 400 schools and 100,000 children in over 100 Local Authorities. Our focus is on addressing the digital divide
and universal home access for all schoolchildren, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Government’s Home Access programme has nearly run its course and once that is concluded, the e-Learning Foundation will be alone in having this focus going forward.

Many Local Authorities supported their schools during the Home Access programme. The membership fee will help us support Local Authorities with advice and information in their continuing work to support schools to achieve high levels of personal access to a computer and the Internet. 

Benefits:

• Automatic grants alerts to keep your schools informed about how to apply into our grants process to help them extend access to more poor (but ineligible for a Home Access grant) families.
• A regular e-newsletter keeping you in the picture on developments
• Two discounted places at each of our bi-annual conference.
• Regular reports on how many schools within your authority are actively involved with home access programmes with us. 
• Support on running workshops for LA staff and school staff (price to be agreed) on home access and overcoming the digital divide.
