Ruth Perry’s sister joins calls to pause proposed Ofsted overhaul

Julia Waters accuses government of ignoring coroner's findings into headteacher's death after school-rating downgrade

The sister of a headteacher who took her own life after an Ofsted report has accused the government of ignoring a coroner's findings into her death by failing to change the school inspection regime.

In 2023, a coroner ruled that an Ofsted assessment that sharply downgraded Caversham primary school in Reading, contributed to the death of Ruth Perry.
