Dangerous crumbling concrete potentially found in Bucks school

Students at a school in Bucks will move to remote learning at the start of term after it was confirmed a dangerous type of concrete may be present in its buildings.

Buckinghamshire Council has confirmed that Waddesdon Church of England Secondary School is one of the buildings at risk following an inspection by the Department of Education.

Headteacher Matthew Abbott said he was informed on Thursday that RAAC material is potentially present in two areas of the school site.

Years 7,8 and 12 will attend face-to-face learning while years 9, 10, 11 and 13 will move to remote learning at the start of the year.

The material is a lightweight concrete used from the 1950s up to the mid-1990s which is being assessed after it was linked to the collapse of the roof at Singlewell Primary School in Kent in 2018.
