Dear all,
As you are aware from this mornings email, there has been a problem with broadband across SE London.
We have had a further update. Due to an underground power explosion under a roundabout in Lewisham, there has been major damage to the fibre optic cables used by Virgin and other providers - hence why the internet and communications are off line.
Due to the location on a VERY busy roundabout, the fix may take longer than 24 hours so it is likely that the vast majority of schools will be off line until the weekend.
We already sent the emergency contact number in the previous message however, we have managed to gain some access via mobile 'dongles' so if you dial the main school number, you will be able to leave a message and then staff can call you back.
Apologies for this inconvenience but we are in the hands of the engineers.
Thank you for your patience
Meic and the team
