Another school has been hit by a cyber attack, this time in Canvey Island, Essex, who say the cyber attack happened during the summer holidays.
Canvey Island Infant School has reported the incident to the NCSC.  

Its headteacher says it has made the “difficult decision” to close the school for an additional day on Tuesday 3 September.

The cyber attack means teachers have been unable to prepare for the new term as they do not have access to resources on the school’s system.
A message on the school’s website says: “We have no access to emails at the moment” and encourages parents to telephone and leave a voicemail instead.

A spokesperson for Essex County Council said it was "aware of a cyber security incident affecting Canvey Infant School".
