We wanted to let you know that our pupils have recently been asked to reset their school network passwords. We are doing this as a precaution after the GDST became aware that a phishing virus is causing a few email accounts across the Trust to automatically send spam emails. The GDST is not the only organisation to be affected. Head Office are currently working with Microsoft to resolve this issue. If you or your daughter receives such an email from a school account, please delete it and let us know so we can work to isolate the problem.

If your child can’t log in to our systems from home, please don’t worry, they can do so once they are back in school. All our staff are aware of this issue and will make allowances if this means that any pupil is unable to complete their homework on time.

If you have any questions please contact our Network Manager, Persham Jones (Persham.jones@rhsb.gdst.net).

With best wishes

Jo Duncan
