Former Ofsted chief says Ruth Perry inspection was error-free

Amanda Spielman says agency did not get it wrong in school downgrade that contributed to headteacher's death

Ofsted's former chief inspector, Amanda Spielman, has refused to concede that her organisation made errors in its handling of the inspection that contributed to the death of the headteacher Ruth Perry.

Perry killed herself last year after Caversham primary school, which she had led for more than a decade, was downgraded from Ofsted's highest grade of outstanding, to inadequate, its lowest.
