Higham Lane School in Nuneaton closed after a cyber incident disabled its IT systems, affecting roughly 1,500 students; the school is working with the Department for Education’s Cyber Incident Response team and its Multi Academy Trust to investigate and recover, has instructed staff and students not to access school platforms, and recommended using external learning resources until systems are verified safe.
