More than 100 schools in England and two in Wales have shut buildings made with a certain type of concrete just days before the start of the new school year.

The Department for Education (DfE) said that any school buildings with RAAC "should no longer be open".

Affected schools are being told to make buildings safe and whist this happens lessons must be moved to temporary classrooms.

In Scotland the government confirmed 35 schools have been identified with RAAC.

First Minister Humza Yousaf said there was no immediate risk to staff or pupils and that sites will continue to be monitored.

Martin went to visit a school in Leicester to see how they're coping with classroom closures.
