SRP

Bellevue Place Education Trust operations director Richard Crompton thought Whiteknights Primary School, near Reading, would have a strong chance of making it on to the SRP eventually, having also been rejected in 2022.

Replacing them would cost £4m, which Mr Crompton said was "unachievable", with the SRP the "only opportunity".

Scalby School, in Scarborough, N Yorks, is one of only seven of the 106 schools with Raac added to the SRP last month to have applied in 2022, citing asbestos in ageing buildings among its concerns.

Head teacher Chris Robertson said it was "about time" the school was added to the SRP.

As a state senator, Mendez pushed SRP to move to renewable energies.
