<p>With thanks to the hard work of school and college leaders, all schools and colleges
with confirmed RAAC are providing full time face-to-face education for all pupils.
The department is supporting schools and colleges to keep any disruption to education
to an absolute minimum.</p><p> </p><p>Every school or college with confirmed RAAC
has been assigned dedicated support from the department’s team of caseworkers. Each
case is unique, and schools and colleges are being supported to put in place a bespoke
plan based on their circumstances. In a matter of months, the department has completed
its RAAC identification programme and announced funding to remove RAAC from schools
and colleges for good.</p><p> </p><p>Schools and colleges concerned about the potential
impact of RAAC-related school closures on pupils due to take GCSE and A level exams
in the summer should speak to the relevant awarding organisation. Only the relevant
awarding organisation will be able to confirm what can be done in any specific context
and the specific options available. Awarding organisations could, for example, offer
a longer extension for coursework and non-exam assessment, so that schools and colleges
have as much time as possible to complete this important part of pupils' learning
and qualifications.</p><p> </p>
