The Education Directorate regularly inspects public school buildings to make sure they remain safe for students, staff and the wider school community.
Through a continual program of inspections and testing we have identified 76 public schools with buildings that have lead paint and/or asbestos.
We regularly check the condition of these hazards so we can take prompt action if they have deteriorated, been damaged or disturbed.
This list will be updated as new information comes to hand.
Each school on this list has a record of where hazardous materials are located and how they are being managed. This record is called a Hazardous Materials Register, it is kept at the front office of each school and it is available to the public.
This list is current as of 17 March 2021
