RE. Important notice for the start of term- REINFORCED AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE (RAAC)
Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope that you are well and have had a great summer.
You may have seen recent media coverage regarding Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) and its use in educational settings. RAAC is a lightweight form of concrete; because it is weaker than regular concrete, concerns have been raised about its long-term durability. Department for Education (DfE) has recently changed its guidance to education settings on the management of RAAC to take a more precautionary approach and as a result areas in affected spaces will be vacated.
