Ruth Perry, 53, took her own life after an Ofsted report downgraded her Caversham Primary School in Reading from its highest rating to its lowest over safeguarding concerns.
With dozens of local authorities facing bankruptcy, a collapse in teacher recruitment, an unprecedented level of teacher resignations, collapsing school buildings, an acceleration of the academies and free schools programme and a witch hunt against teachers opposing the Gaza genocide, both unions went on the stump for Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer as saviour.
Ofsted has appointed Dame Christine Gilbert, a former chief inspector of Ofsted, to to lead an independent review into the organisation’s response to the death of headteacher Ruth Perry.
Professor Julia Waters said it ‘could feel a bit like Ofsted has set its own homework’ with the appointment of a former boss to lead the review.
