The Government have published a full list of schools with RAAC concrete.

Schools were thrown into chaos last week by the information about RAAC concrete, just days before students were expected to return to classrooms for the new school year.

The Department for Education have said that 156 school buildings were identified as having the type of potentially dangerous concrete. Out of these, 52 were at risk of a sudden collapse, which caused immediate action to be taken to make them safe for teachers and pupils.

While it was originally thought the other 104 were safe, it has recently been revealed that they could still pose a risk.

Now, the Government have published the full list of schools with RAAC concrete.

What is RAAC concrete?

The Government website explains: "RAAC is a lightweight form of concrete. The Standing Committee on Structural Safety (SCOSS) has noted that: 'Although called 'concrete', (RAAC) is very different from traditional concrete and, because of the way in which it was made, much weaker.

"RAAC was used in schools, colleges and other building construction from the 1950s until the mid-1990s. It may therefore be found in any school and college building (educational and ancillary) that was either built or modified in this time period."
