Government publishes full list of schools affected by unsafe concrete

As half term is over and children head back to the classroom, the government has finally published a full list of schools across the country affected by unsafe concrete after days of pressure.

The Department of Education have faced public pressure to release the list of schools after it announced 104 schools in England could close or partially close due to concerns about reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC), last week.

Ministers contacted the schools after 52 of the 156 educational settings containing the concrete have had to take protective steps so far this year.

Just days before the start of the new term, headteachers have been left scrambling to arrange for temporary accommodation, resulting in some pupils returning to remote learning. 

A number of Greater Manchester schools (seven so far) are included in the list and have been highlighted below:

Sale Grammar School, Trafford

Altrincham College, Trafford

All Saints CofE Primary School, Manchester

Canon Slade School, Bolton

St William of York Catholic Primary School, Bolton

St Andrew’s CofE Primary School, Bolton

Royal College Manchester (Seashell Trust)
