Full list of schools in England affected by unsafe concrete published by government
The government has finally published a list of schools identified with collapse-prone concrete after days of mounting pressure.
The list published by the Department for Education showed 19 schools where the start of term has had to be delayed as a result of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC).
Four schools had to open remotely while the rest were a mix of remote and face to face.
The list comes just before the first PMQs since the summer recess, which is expected to dominated by the issue of Britain’s crumbling schools.
Ministers had been facing calls to “come clean” on the issue after announcing 104 schools in England would have to close or partially close due to concerns about reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC).
The order came days before the start of the new school term, leaving headteachers in a last-minute scramble to find temporary accommodation and forcing some pupils to return to COVID pandemic-style remote learning.
The government said the closures were in addition to 52 schools that already had mitigation measures in place due to RAAC – but it had refused to publicly reveal the facilities or clarify how many schools have had to shut entirely.
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan promised on Monday to publish the list by the end of the week, including the details of initial mitigations in place.
“After this, we will provide updated information as new cases of RAAC are confirmed and existing cases resolved,” she told the House of Commons.

Ministers expect hundreds more schools could be affected as they await the results of building surveys.
Ms Keegan came under fire on Tuesday for telling school leaders to “get off their backsides” and complete the forms.
It was the latest mishap after she was caught on camera bemoaning a lack of thanks for doing a “f***ing good job” while other people are “sat on their arses”.
Rishi Sunak is also facing criticism for rejecting a funding request to fix 200 schools while chancellor.
The prime minister defended himself by saying he committed to a major programme to fix around 50 schools a year over a 10 year period – but the Department for Education confirmed on Tuesday that just four have been rebuilt since 2021.
