Headteacher killed herself after negative Ofsted inspection

A headteacher killed herself while waiting for an Ofsted report which gave her school the lowest possible rating, her family said.

Ruth Perry, 53, who was the headteacher at Caversham Primary School in Reading, took her own life in January after being told the school was being downgraded from Outstanding to Inadequate.

Her sister, Julia Waters, said Ms Perry had experienced the “worst day of her life” after inspectors reviewed the school on November 15 and 16 last year.
