Forres Academy in Moray will be closed to all pupils on Thursday and Friday while structural engineers assess the situation.
A Scots school has been closed to pupils with immediate effect after it was found to be at a "higher level of risk" from faulty concrete.
More than 30 schools across Scotland have been found to contain potentially dangerous concrete - and on Wednesday structural engineers advised the council that the situation at Forres had escalated. Parents at the school were sent an email from headteacher Jan Sinclair confirming the school would be closed for the rest of the week to allow them to take "swift action" to resolve the issue.
Sinclair said: “We have received new information today from the structural engineers, Fairhurst, whilst undertaking the current remedial work regarding RAAC at the school which now appears to indicate a higher level of risk. A Moray Council spokesperson said: “Due to receiving new information on the RAAC at Forres Academy from our Structural Engineer contractor, the status of the level of risk has been updated. There is no indication of deterioration to the RAAC panels within the school and the change of level has been dictated by a change of advice and guidance received from the contractors.
