Raac concern parents take pupils out of Gatehouse Primary school

Mr Dickie said he remained unhappy with sending his child to the school despite assurances from the council.

“I just don’t understand why anybody would put their child in that position with so many unknowns,” he said.

He said they wanted more answers from the council and some kind of temporary accommodation until a more detailed inspection was carried out.

Rebecca Vasey is chairwoman of the Parent Teacher Association and has taken her daughter Isabella out of the school.

She said she did not believe it was safe after reading the structural engineer’s report.

“It is really concerning for me that these Raac panels are six metres long over the children’s heads in the classroom,” she said.

“I am not prepared to risk my daughter’s life for that.”
