'Direct link' between headteacher who took her own life and Ofsted inspection, inquest hears
Thursday, 30 November 2023 There was a "direct link" between Ofsted's inspection of Caversham Primary School and headteacher Ruth Perry's death, staff at the school have told an inquest.
The sister of the headteacher Ruth Perry, who took her own life following an Ofsted report, says it's "depressing" to see the Government has decided to keep one word judgements for school inspections. The government was asked by the Education Select Committee to scrap the single word assessment - such as "outstanding or inadequate" - but said today it's keeping the headline grade because it provides a "succinct" summary for parents and schools.
