Weald of Kent Grammar School in Tonbridge warns parents following a cyberattack in which a 'decent image' was leaked.
Although head teacher Richard Booth sent out a letter, our school was recently the target of a cyberattack that penetrated an email distribution group in our system.
The grammar school is assisting the police in their efforts to identify the perpetrators, who have been notified of the event.
Students impacted by this should visit Student Services, and talk to their Form Tutors, or the Head of Year.
