Crumbly RAAC concrete has forced three more colleges to close parts of their sites, according to the Department of Education.
An updated list of affected schools and colleges was published by the DfE this morning. It shows the number of education settings with RAAC has increased to 174, up by 27 since the list was first published two weeks ago. The new snapshot figures list settings that have confirmed RAAC as of September 14.
Farnborough College of Technology, Grantham College and Marple Sixth Form College – part of The Trafford College Group – have joined Petroc as the only further education colleges that have identified reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) so far.
One specialist post-16 college, Royal College Manchester (Seashell Trust) is also listed.
