Did you know that [60% of secondary schools and 44% of primary schools have experienced a cyber breach in the past year](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/cyber-security-breaches-survey-2025/cyber-security-breaches-survey-2025-education-institutions-findings)? Ensuring robust cyber protection for your school has never been more crucial.

Recent high-profile incidents involving [Marks & Spencer](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0el31nqnpvo) and the [Legal Aid Agency](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/legal-aid-cyber-attack-huge-amount-of-personal-data-stolen/ar-AA1F2mCA) highlight that no organisation – not even a well-established retailer or government agency – is immune to cyber incidents. From data theft to system disruption, cybercrime is becoming more frequent, more sophisticated, and more costly.

A successful cyber-attack could have a serious impact on your school:

**Business interruption and system downtime**

Key resources, including student data, lesson plans, and education materials could be made inaccessible by a ransomware attack.

**Crime**

A phishing campaign could result in compromised employee email accounts which hackers use to make fraudulent payments.

**Privacy risk**

Should hackers manage to access personal information, including students’ health information, then parents will have to be notified of the breach.

**Free cyber scan available**

Protect your school from cyber threats with a free, non-intrusive scan and tailored recommendations.
