The Brief

In November 2023, data released by the Department for Education revealed that 231 schools and colleges were impacted by the RAAC crisis; affecting the safety of schools and disrupting student learning.

Premier Modular has supported a number of schools following the discovery of RAAC to date, including The Bromfords School, Merrylands Primary School and Buckhurst Hill Community Primary School. When these schools discovered RAAC in their buildings, the affected areas were closed immediately. This caused intense disruption to pupil learning at the start of the school year and required some students to work remotely.

As a result of the sudden challenges the presence of RAAC created, all three of these schools needed temporary accommodation for students which reflected their individual needs, fast. Following a partnership with Premier Modular, each school received modular school buildings within a matter of weeks.
