The government has announced that 10 of the 12 colleges with RAAC will receive grants to remove the dangerous concrete.
Data published by the Department for Education today shows 234 schools and colleges have now been confirmed as having reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, an increase of three since the last update in December.
The DfE said today this was the “final list”, making up around 1 per cent of 22,000 schools and colleges in England.
The new list includes information about the “route of removal”, and shows 119 schools will be rebuilt either fully or partially. Another 110 education settings will receive grants while the rest have a “different” route to removal.
The “other” route is used where, for example, the education setting “doesn’t require the department to provide any additional support or funding or the case has only recently been confirmed and we are assessing the best solution for removal”.
Of the 234 affected settings, 11 are FE colleges and one is a specialist post-16 institution.
Two colleges were added to today’s updated list – Barking and Dagenham College which will receive a grant, and The College of Richard Collyer in Horsham which does not require a grant for removal at this stage.
The other college listed as not receiving a grant for RAAC removal is Camborne College, part of Cornwall College Group.
The nine other colleges with RAAC which will receive a grant are:
- Abingdon and Witney College
- Barnet and Southgate College
- The Oldham College
- Grantham College
- Farnborough College of Technology
- Marple Sixth Form College – part of The Trafford College Group
- Petroc
- Peterborough College – part of Inspire Education Group
- Royal College Manchester (Seashell Trust)
Education secretary Gillian Keegan said: “Nothing is more important to me than the safety of every child and member of staff.
“We will continue to work closely with schools and colleges as we take the next step to permanently remove RAAC from affected buildings.”
She also thanked schools, colleges and local authorities “who have worked tirelessly with the department to ensure all children remain in face-to-face education”.
