Yesterday, EPI published initial analysis of the 79 schools that the BBC had identified as having RAAC. Later that day, the Department for Education published a fuller list of 147 schools that have responded to the DfE survey and have since been confirmed as having RAAC. There may still be schools with RAAC that have not yet been identified, perhaps because they have not responded to the survey or RAAC hasn’t been formally identified.
Nevertheless, we have updated our analysis to cover the schools that we know, so far, have RAAC.1 We were interested in whether there were any patterns regionally, based on levels of disadvantage and based on the governance structure of schools.
Our first finding, as shown in Figure 1 below, is that secondary schools are far more likely to currently be affected by RAAC than primary schools (we stress “currently” because we do not know whether RAAC has already been addressed in large numbers of primary schools).
