Somerset Council undertook a review earlier this year of building records for local authority maintained schools that were built during the period when RAAC was in use. This concluded that it is unlikely that these buildings were constructed using RAAC. To date only one instance has been conclusively identified, in a multiacademy trust school, in Somerset. The safety of your child is the absolute priority of the council and this school. While it is easy to rule out the presence of RAAC in some schools, in others the process can be complex and involve several stages of investigation. Following DfE guidance, the Council has been investigating the issue of RAAC, including on-site initial and follow up surveys that commenced in June 2023, and they continue to do so with urgency. The Council anticipates concluding all initial surveys of remaining local authority maintained schools over the coming fortnight. At this time there is no cause for concern in relation to RAAC in our school. We will obviously update you if the situation changes.
Volunteers needed:
If you have any spare time to spare and any skills to share we would welcome you to our school to volunteer.
It could be listening to readers, helping with small groups or any specialised skills you have to share please pop into the school office or see Lisa Phillips.

Do you have a child starting reception class? If so, your child will be participating in the reception baseline assessment (RBA) within the first 6 weeks of starting reception. The purpose of the assessment is to provide the starting point for a new measure that will help parents understand how well schools support their pupils to progress between reception and year 6. What is the RBA? The RBA is a short, interactive and practical assessment of your child’s early literacy, communication, language and mathematics skills when they begin school, using materials that most children of your child’s age will be familiar with. It became statutory for all schools from September 2021.
