Highly confidential documents from 14 schools across the UK have been leaked online by hackers, the BBC can reveal.

One of those was Pates Grammar School in Gloucestershire, targeted by a hacking group called Vice Society.

The documents, seen by the BBC, include children's SEN information, child passport scans, staff pay scales and contract details, stolen in 2022.

A spokesperson for Pates Grammar School said it took the security of its systems and data extremely seriously.

The Vice Society has been behind a high-profile string of attacks on schools across the UK and the USA in recent months.
