And lo, the autumn catches up with us for another year. The vast majority of teachers in England have pupils coming back Monday to Wednesday this week – although with crumbling concrete chaos, fewer are back than usual.
Co-Founder Laura McInerney has been out, shining the Teacher Tapp light during media interviews about the buildings problems.
While critical RAAC is only confirmed in a small number of schools at present, you’ve also told us that 40% of schools have buckets for leaking roofs and 12% have rooms that can’t be used due to their condition.
Given the money for buildings halved over the past 13 years it’s important to make the case more strongly for cash to ensure schools are well-maintained and we’ve been glad to use what you’ve told us to fight for just that.
