Raac: Full list of 234 schools in England with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete released

A total of 119 schools with dangerous concrete across England will need to have buildings rebuilt or refurbished, the Government has said. The Department of Education has on Thursday (February 8) released the full list of 234 schools with reinforced autoclave aerated concrete - known as a lightweight, 'bubbly' form of concrete that is prone to collapse.

Meanwhile, a further 110 schools and colleges where work to remove RAAC will be on a smaller scale will have access to grant funding to pay for the work. More than 150,000 pupils were affected by the concrete crisis, which began in August when the government sounded the alarm about the potential of buildings falling in hundreds of schools and colleges across England after crumbly concrete was discovered in some parts of the facilities.

Before the new academic year began in September, schools were instructed to either fully or partially shut down after a section of a building, previously deemed "non-critical," unexpectedly collapsed during the summer break.

Raac is a lightweight type of concrete used in schools, colleges and other building construction from the 1950s until the mid-1990s. However, a large portion of the RAAC found in schools has passed the end of its safe life and is now in danger of collapsing, even though it is still made and can be used safely.

The DfE said its Raac identification programme is now complete as all schools with blocks built in the target area have responded to their questionnaire. It said: "Other than the 234 education settings, the surveys found no evidence of RAAC."
