List of schools affected by concrete safety fears with new closures

Numerous schools across England won’t be opening up on time this term amid concerns over a type of concrete used.

Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has said that the Department of Education will publish a list of the schools affected by the concrete crisis this week.

Keegan said there are 104 schools previously classed as non-critical where emergency procedures for structure issues are now in place.

The Education Secretary told BBC Breakfast: “There’s 104 that are not mitigated that are being mitigated right now. So that’s how many are affected.”

She said 52 that had already been classed as critical were already 'done'.

Potentially hundreds of surveys still need to be done, Keegan continued.

She added: “The vast majority of surveys that we do, they come back without Raac [reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete], but where we find it we will then treat everyone as critical and we will either prop them up or put temporary accommodation into place and then we will refurbish or rebuild them if they require that.”

However, Sky News has compiled list of schools that have been reported as being affected.

In an interview with Sky News, Keegan stressed that 'most of the schools will be open' while the issue is being addressed.

“The vast majority of children will be going back today," she said.

"There will be some where they’ve got quite extensive Raac so they may close so that we can put temporary accommodation in place.

“Many schools are either looking for alternative accommodation, if they’re within a multi-academy trust or within a local authority, or moving to another classroom if they’ve got spare classroom.

“If it’s across the whole school, then that gets more difficult. So what we’re doing right now is we’ve assigned a caseworker for each one of the schools, for working with the school to figure out what the mitigation plans are.”
