Don’t miss our Cyber Security for Primary Schools Webinar – 12 November 2026

by Hannah Richardson -

A half day course designed for real schools, not IT specialists and delivered by Phil Bagge, Computing Inspector/Adviser. 

You do not need technical expertise to manage cyber risk effectively. Cyber-attacks against schools are rising, and many incidents start with everyday staff actions rather than technical failures. 

This practical half day course provides primary schools with the clarity and confidence to reduce risk, respond quickly, and meet growing expectations around cybersecurity. 

Schools will take away session plans to engage different members of the school community as well as ways to keep cyber security in mind in the long term. Help will be provided to update or write a Cyber Security plan.
