Comments come after coroner said Ofsted inspection of Ruth Perry’s school contributed to her suicide
The sister of a headteacher who killed herself after an Ofsted inspection said comments by the watchdog’s chief inspector were a “kick in the guts” and accused it of failing to make the changes needed to prevent further cases.
A coroner this week concluded that Ofsted’s inspection of Ruth Perry’s school – downgrading it from outstanding to inadequate – contributed to Perry’s suicide, after an inquest in Reading identified multiple failings in the inspection process and the lack of training for Ofsted staff.
