Survey carried out after 2021 safety bulletin received
King Williams College has revealed it has no concerns about the concrete used across its estate.
The private school says a survey has already determined there are no RAAC elements at the site, or at the Buchan School, in Castletown.
Some schools in the United Kingdom have been ordered to shut buildings made with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) until safety work is undertaken.
King Williams College says it received a safety bulletin from the UK Health and Safety Executive in April 2021 in connection with the issue.
Following this a survey of the educational buildings, which could have potentially contained RAAC, was carried out which showed no issues.
The Department of Education, Sport and Culture says it’s not aware of any use of the concrete across its school estate on the Isle of Man.
The UK media are currently running high profile news stories concerning the closure of schools ahead of the Autumn 2023 term due to safety concerns arising from the failure of RAAC elements. The issue has also been raised politically on the Isle of Man.
