Listed: North and mid Essex schools affected by Raac crisis

On Thursday, the Government told more than 100 schools across the country to close buildings containing an aerated concrete which is prone to collapse.

The Department for Education had refused to publish a list of the schools affected, but it has today published a list of all of the schools where reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) is present.

Some of the schools will have already made arrangements to teach pupils in other classrooms or had remedial work to make the buildings safe, while others have been forced to close with several schools shifting to online lessons.
