Thousands of pupils had the start of their term disrupted by the discovery of RAAC, as some schools had to close buildings or classrooms.
Of these, most have all pupils in face-to-face education, while one is fully remote, two have a mix of arrangements, and one is still establishing how to proceed.
There is now only one school which is fully remote – down from four before, while 23 are operating a mix of face-to-face and remote.
In total, 174 schools have been found to have RAAC, with 98.6% of schools asked having returned the government’s surveys.
