There could be more schools built with dangerous concrete not yet identified, an education minister has admitted, a day after more than 100 potentially unsafe facilities were told to close or put mitigations in place before they can re-open.
Thousands of pupils faced a disrupted start to the academic year as more than 104 schools and colleges were told to partially or fully close buildings just days before children were due to return to classes after the summer holidays.
But schools minister Nick Gibb told ITV News there’s "perhaps a few more" built using reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) – a potentially dangerous, lightweight, building material that was predominantly used in roofs between the 1960s and the 1980s.
