BBC London goes to see how a school has handled building closures six months after RAAC was found.

Meanwhile, up to 300 pupils were initially taught by year group in the hall, gym and dance studios, but this wasn't a suitable long-term solution."While the school kept Year 11 in due to exams, all other year groups had to spend one day at home every week on a rolling basis."

Six months later, and affected pupils are starting the academic year in 15 temporary portable cabins, but the school still hasn't been able to find a way to deal with removing the RAAC in the rest of the school safely.Haringey Council's leader says the government needs to give "assurances" over future costs

"Six months down the line there are still some issues that need to be resolved, but all the children will be back - there is a staggered return, there may be a slight delay for some," she said.
