Ministers have promised schools worst-hit by the RAAC crisis extra cash so their teachers can run out-of-hours catch-up lessons – but who gets the extra funding is unclear.
Leaders of secondaries blighted by the crumbly concrete have been urging government to give their pupils grade allowances in this summer’s GCSE and A-level exams.
The Department for Education dismissed the calls, as it argued assessments “can only show what children know and can do”.
But leaders of two trusts that run heavily impacted schools have revealed the government has promised funding to help convince teachers to hold extra classes in the holidays.
