Security notice regarding an unauthorised email
On 29 September 2026, an unauthorised email was sent from a Plume staff email account to a number of internal and external recipients.
The email used the subject:
“Plume, Maldon’s Community Academy PDF”
and contained an ACCESS/DOWNLOAD link to an external website.
If you received this message, please delete it and do not select the link. If you followed the link and entered a password or other personal information, we recommend changing the relevant password as a precaution.
The affected school account has been secured, and additional protective measures have been implemented. At present, our investigation has found no evidence that the link installed malware or compromised recipients’ devices.
We apologise for any concern caused.
We are very proud to be able to share some short videos to show new parents and students wishing to join us next September what we have to offer. You will see how we operate and the important key values that Plume Academy stakeholders follow daily.
Year 7 and 8 science students turn their hands to alchemy
Autumn term science club has seen our budding scientists make bird feeders, construct brain hats, burn food stuff to see how much energy they contain, create rainbow flames, indulge in some alchemy turning copper coins into 'gold', form plastic from milk, and we are currently in the process of producing bouncy eggs!
There are always lots of experiments and fun to be had in room M21 at Mill Road Campus on Wednesdays from 3.15pm - 4.15pm for anyone who wishes to join in please come along!
