Some schools across England are having to give parents the difficult news that they will not be opening on time due to new fears over a certain type of concrete.
While some others are having to put mitigations in place with certain buildings affected.
The Department for Education (DfE) said the vast majority of schools and colleges “will be unaffected” after they said around 104 schools or “settings” are facing the issue, but Sky News has identified dozens of schools that are impacted.
Below is a list of schools that Sky News has independently confirmed as being affected by the reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) issue.
This is followed by a list of schools that have been reported elsewhere as being affected.
It is understood that a full list of schools affected will be released by the government when all parents are informed and mitigations are in place.
