In the 2023/24 academic there were 32,149 schools in the United Kingdom, 601 schools fewer than there were in the 2010/11 academic year.

Concrete crisis at UK schools in 2023 Due to its affordability, many schools built in the UK from the 1950s to the 1990s used reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC). Although not inherently unsafe, RAAC is a less durable version of standard concrete, and has a typically shorter lifespan. The issue of RAAC in schools suddenly became more urgent in 2018, when a school roof collapsed, confirming fears that RAAC structures weakened over time. Just before schools returned for the 2023/24 academic year, 147 schools in England were confirmed as having issues with RAAC, with 19 of these forced to delay the start of the school year, and a further four opting for fully remote learning.
