Hello,

I hope whoever is reading this is well. This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

1) Was your school, or any part of it, built between the 1960s and 1980s? Please simply answer YES or NO to this question.

2) Is there any Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in any part of the school premises? Please simply answer YES, NONE or UNSURE to this question.

3) Does the school have plans to completely remove the areas with RAAC from its premises? If the answer to this question is YES, please specify the target removal year.

If the answer is NO, and your school does have RAAC, please briefly say why there are no plans to remove the material.

Best,
Yohannes

Dear Gary Wren (Staff - Longsands Academy),

Thanks for the response to my request - your reply was a bit jumbled up (I am not sure if this is because of the formatting of WDTK or the way you phrased it)

'THE CONCRETE IS ON A REGISTER AND MONITORED. IT IS UNDESTERBED. IF ANY
WORKS ARE TO GO AHEAD WE ARE AWARE OF LOCATIONS AND ANY POTENTAIL
CONTRACTORS WILL BE MADE AWARE ASLO, TO ENSURE THE CORRECT ACTIONS WILL BE
TAKEN'

As you can see from the above, there seems to be a word missing after 'register' - please tell me what this is?

What does 'undesterbed' mean, did you mean to type undisturbed?

Could you please tell me the locations where the RAAC is located and roughly what percentage of the school's estate the material currently covers?

Thanks Gary, could you please tell me what the missing word after 'register' is?

I will await the answers to my questions about the percentage coverage/location of RAAC. I am asking all state secondary schools in England about the presence of the material, not just yours, and collating the results in a spreadsheet.
