Pupils from Corpus Christi Catholic School, Brixton, south London were relocated to St Martin’s in the Field Girls’ School after their school was identified as containing RAAC thousands more pupils across the country facing disrupted learning.
Daniel Kebede, the recently-appointed general secretary of the NEU, said: “The number of schools with RAAC continues to rise, and we are nowhere near the conclusion of this saga. RAAC is a lightweight concrete which was commonly used in construction between the 50s and mid-90s, but is now decaying and has been deemed unsafe.
“We’re going through those at the moment and I’m not in a position to be able to give you a number on that,” she said. Almost 250 temporary classrooms have been ordered to help schools across England affected by the crisis, though the figure is expected to rise as more schools are added to the RAAC list.
