Thousands of pupils in England may have to begin the autumn term taking lessons remotely after the government ordered more than 100 schools to immediately shut buildings made with aerated concrete until safety work is undertaken.
The guidance from the Department for Education was sent to 156 schools and colleges just days before the start of the new school year. Of those institutions, 52, already have mitigations in place.
We want to speak to school leaders and staff at affected schools or colleges in England. Does your building contain aerated concrete? What are you planning to do?
What communications have you received? How will this affect you?
We’d also like to hear from parents who have children at affected schools. What are your concerns?
If you are aware or have concerns about other buildings outside of school settings, we’d also like to hear from you.
