Temporary school to open after RAAC concrete closure

Available for over a year

A Leicester school, forced to close because of structural safety concerns, is preparing to reunite pupils in a new temporary building. Mayflower Primary school in Evington was given 24 hours to relocate last year following the discovery of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in the 1950s built school roof. Children have been taught at multiple locations since April. The temporary school is on Ethel Road playing fields, and it's hoped the school's 500 pupils will be able to move in after February's half term. Luke Whitney, Headteacher of Mayflower Primary, explains more to Chance Litchfield.
