Protecting Your Learning Community From Cyber Threats

With government data revealing that 60% of secondary schools, 44% of primary schools and 85% of further education colleges experienced cyber-attacks in the last 12 months alone, the question is no longer “if” but “when” your school will face a cyber incident.

The average cost of a breach is now in the millions, but for many schools, the true cost is far greater: days of closure, lost teaching time, compromised student data, and reputational damage that can take years to repair.

That’s why we’ve created this Cyber Security Guide for Schools to support you with essential, actionable guidance that will help you meet updated DfE requirements, protect your learning community, and ensure your cyber-defence is fit for 2025 and beyond.
