At least 10 other headteachers have been left suicidal in the wake of Ofsted inspections, a former inspector has revealed, as a coroner found a damning inspection had contributed to Ruth Perry’s death.
Perry, 53, took her own life in January this year, months after Caversham Primary School in Reading was downgraded from “outstanding” to “inadequate” after safeguarding concerns were raised during an inspection by the schools watchdog in November 2022.
