The government has not said which schools in England are affected
Ministers have been urged to “come clean” about the scale of the problems facing England’s school buildings as thousands of pupils faced a disrupted start to term.
But shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson said: “We haven’t seen the full list of schools affected. We don’t know where they are, ministers should come clean with parents and set out the full scale of the challenge that we’re facing.” But its guidance to schools said funding will only be provided for works that are “capital funded” and schools will have to pay for rental costs for emergency or temporary accommodation.
RAAC is a lightweight building material used from the 1950s up to the mid-1990s, but now assessed to be at risk of collapse. The BBC reports affected schools include Ferryhill School, a secondary in County Durham, Willowbrook Mead Primary Academy in Leicester and Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School in Brixton, south London.If RAAC is confirmed, the DfE has promised that “appropriate rapid action is taken” which could include funding to remove any immediate risks and, where necessary, arranging temporary buildings to be put in place.
The NAO’s report said 700,000 pupils were learning in schools that required major rebuilding or refurbishment.
