Almost a third of schools confirmed to have RAAC have had to delay the start of term or educate some pupils remotely, Department for Education data shows.

The government has finally published a list of 147 schools with confirmed presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete as of August 30. It is estimated that around 100,000 children are in schools with confirmed RAAC.

Of those schools, 20 are educating pupils with a mixture of face-to-face and remote lessons, while 19 had to delay the start of term and four switched fully to remote learning.

The government had previously said 156 schools were affected, but nine unnamed schools are now listed as “RAAC not present”.
