Warwickshire head calls for school rebuild over RAAC issues.

The head teacher of Myton School in Warwick is calling for a complete rebuild after reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) issues forced students into temporary portacabins.

In September, a structural engineer confirmed RAAC panelling in the first floor of the lower school building, the site of maths, languages, art and drama classrooms, plus a medical room and the canteen.

Andy Perry announced plans to re-open to all students after partially closing due to the presence of the dangerous concrete in one of its buildings.

Myton School is one of scores of English schools found to have issues, which poses a safety risk as it is prone to crumbling.

After weeks of disruption, normal teaching is provisionally set to resume on 17 October.

"New building units" allow the change.
