An east London school is having to regularly inspect 53 different parts of its building over uncertainty that Raac is present. Coppice Primary in Redbridge had not responded to a Department for Education Raac survey, so has not yet been identified as an impacted school.The council has urged the government to cover the cost.Clare Pike, the executive head at Coppice Primary School, said that they have had to removed ceiling tiles in many parts of the building to allow regular visual inspections.
Ms Pike added: "We're dealing with the unknown, we're untrained people being asked to do something that is actually impossible for us."She believes the current situation is something that the government could have planned better for. The headteacher said that if Raac is identified within the building, the school has the space and resources to close certain parts and remain open safely.The school's site manager, Jade Buckingham, inspects 53 areas of Raac concern twice a dayRedbridge Council leader Jas Athwal asked the government to "make it good" and cover any expenditure by local authorities inspecting schools within their area.
