Hosted schools will be upgraded on Wednesday 8th April from 5pm and will involve minimal downtime. Your site will be unavailable during the upgrade but as soon as you can login you can assume it has been done.
As always thank you for your patience and if you have any questions about what is happening don't hesitate to drop us a message. Or even use the new support widget which will appear on your new Moodle.
