Thurrock Council has been working with schools across the borough as they respond to issues affecting buildings containing Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC).

Cllr Adam Carter, Cabinet Member for Education, recently visited St Clere's Secondary School and Thameside Primary School to see what action they had taken and praised the Osborne Co-operative Academy Trust for their exceptional work in difficult times.

Early figures indicate that Thurrock's primary schools are the top performers in the Eastern region when it comes to teaching reading, writing, grammar, maths and science.

Results of assessments of pupils in years Early Years Foundation Stage, Year 2 and Year 6 show that more pupils are reaching the expected standard in Thurrock than across the region. The figures are due to be validated later in the year.
