TEACHERS say changes to Ofsted inspections announced today in the wake of head Ruth Perry’s death do not go nearly far enough.
The 53-year-old head of a Reading primary school committed suicide earlier this year after an Ofsted inspection dropped her school’s grade from outstanding to inadequate.
After a national outcry, schools will be given more information on the timing of their inspections and a consultation on reforms to the complaints system will be launched.
