Pupils and staff in all year groups have been reunited under one roof at Swadlincote school after being split across two sites for almost six months.

In September 2023 Years 3 to 6 at St Edward’s Catholic Voluntary Academy in Swadlincote, had to move temporarily to their partner secondary school, Blessed Robert Sutton Catholic Voluntary, in Burton.

The move followed a Government announcement about issues in schools where Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) had been identified.
