The school website problem has now been sorted out. Following a phone call from the new broadband consortium hosts at lunchtime, our educational address now maps to the website hosts perfectly once again. So, no excuses from staff now - they can get posting again...
...Unless of course, the entire network for the (we thought) local area goes down again. Turns out it wasn't local, or even county wide. It was only a problem that affected all schools in Derbyshire, Leicester City, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottingham City, Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland. Nothing major there then!! As they said on their website (which no one could access to read!!);
"Due to problems with URL filtering applying incorrect policies, it was decided in the best interest of internet safety to embc schools, that the URL filtering be taken out of service. Apologies for the inconvenience this caused as internet access was withdrawn."
