The list has been published today, 6 September, following calls by Labour and Liberal Democrats for the Prime Minister to reveal the names of the schools that have been contacted by the DfE because they contain reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC), which could pose a safety risk.

According to the DfE list, 70 per cent of the 104 impacted educational settings remain open for face-to-face learning.

A further 20 settings have put hybrid arrangements in place, while 19 have delayed the start of term by a few days. A total of four have had to put remote learning in place for a short period of time and nine have since been found not to have RAAC.
