Around half of the schools affected by crumbly concrete will get rebuilds with most the others receiving a grant to remove RAAC, but unions say the work “must not divert cash from elsewhere”.
A total of 234 schools are now confirmed as having reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, an increase of three since the last update in December.
The Department for Education said this is the “final list” – making up around 1 per cent of schools in England. All schools suspected as having RAAC have now had a survey to confirm if it’s present, government said.
However, a “small number” of settings are carrying out “additional checks for further assurance in some spaces”.
