College Systems Offline Temporarily

We have been advised by our software suppliers to take our college systems offline because of a global exploitation of PHP.

The issue isn't localised to colleges and is affecting systems around the world. See the BBC's article here: BBC News - Websites taken down worldwide as critical cyber-security update issued

We expect a patch for CEDAR imminently and will update Parents & Carers via email. We hope to have it operational again at some point this afternoon.

Absences cannot currently be reported, but once CEDAR is back up and running, you can report retrospectively. Your young person's attendance will still be authorised in the same way.
