Great Marlow School in Buckinghamshire, England closed to most students for a second day after a cyberattack affected its information and communications technology systems. Only pupils sitting external GCSE and A-Level exams were allowed on site while the school worked with specialist IT and cybersecurity responders and followed guidance from the UK Department for Education and the National Cyber Security Centre; the attack type and any data exposure have not yet been confirmed.
Why it matters: This shows how even a single school cyber incident can quickly disrupt classes, exams, and day-to-day operations for students and staff. Schools and local education defenders should review incident response plans, backups, and access controls now, while affected families should watch for official updates about any possible data exposure.
