Ofsted inspectors have now upgraded a school previously run by a headteacher who took her own life. The primary has now been rated as good following a previous inadequate rating.
Ruth Perry was headteacher of Caversham Primary School before she died in January this year. Her tragic death follows a report which downgraded her school from the highest rating – outstanding – to the lowest over safeguarding concerns.
The school, in Reading, Berkshire, was reinspected on June 21 and 22 and the fresh report, which does mention Ms Perry, rates it good in all categories. Her sister Professor Julia Waters said the upgraded rating was a testament to the work of Ms Perry and the staff she led since the initial inspection in November last year.
