Dear Parents and Carers,

You may have seen recent media coverage regarding Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) and its use in educational settings.

 

In May 2023, the Department for Education carried out a RAAC Survey of our school as part of a national programme to identify public buildings with RAAC.

 

We have been informed in writing, the results of the survey and that is that we do not have any RAAC in our school buildings.

We will therefore continue to function as normal. Parents may want to understand more about RAAC and the support to educational settings to manage RAAC safely; you can read more through the article published by the DfE on the Education Hub:

I hope that this offers reassurance to all parents of children attending Grange Park Infant and Nursery School. I look forward to welcoming the children back as planned.

Yours sincerely,

 

Kiran Thapar

 

Head Teacher
