A Suffolk school affected by so-called 'crumbling concrete' has had a 'very positive term' as it continues to recover from the crisis, the headteacher has said.

In September, Farlingaye High School in Woodbridge announced that it would have to partially shut after reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) was found in some of its buildings.

The Department of Education had told schools constructed with RAAC to close over safety fears.

Staff at the Woodbridge school then had to scramble to find spaces around the school site that could be transformed into classrooms, while the wider community also pitched in with the 5th Woodbridge Sea Scouts providing a marquee for use as the sixth form common room.

Since then, the school has continued to recover with new mobile buildings being introduced to provide temporary classrooms.

Work is also being carried out to the music and art block.

Last week, a new library was unveiled made from former shipping containers.

The school's head Pete Smith said “We have had a very positive term and all the students have been brilliant.

"Our temporary classrooms are up and running, as is our fabulous library.  Work has started on one of the buildings affected by RAAC and we hope to start more work in the new year.”

On Wednesday, the EADT revealed that two more Suffolk schools had been added to the list of institutions in the county affected by RAAC, bringing the total to eight.

The concrete has also been found at Stour Valley Community School in Clare and Glade Academy in Brandon.
