Bookings now open for our new course: Cyber Security for Primary Schools (Webinar) – 21 May 2026

by Hannah Richardson -

A full 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 one-day course provides primary schools with the clarity and confidence to reduce risk, respond quickly, and meet growing expectations around cybersecurity. 

The course fee is for three attendees from each school.
