The sister of a head teacher who committed suicide after a report from Ofsted has demanded the watchdog's power be destroyed.
Ruth Perry, 53, killed herself after the report from the education watchdog downgraded Caversham Primary School, in Reading, from outstanding to inadequate.
Ms Perry was the principal of the Berkshire school for over 12 years. Now her sister, Julia Waters, has made calls to "destroy horrible, inaccurate Ofsted".
In a post on social media, Ms Waters wrote: “I really think we need to rally parents’ voices in the campaign to reform Ofsted.
“Parents, say no to the horrible, inaccurate and dangerous labelling of schools and heads. Destroy Ofsted’s power by refusing its legitimacy.”
Caversham Primary School had faced their first Ofsted inspection in 13 years and had been ranked "outstanding" before the visit.
But following the inspection in November, Miss Perry soon learned her school would lose its outstanding ranking, and be downgraded to Inadequate.
In January this year, Miss Perry took her own life, as her sister said the inspection “preyed on her mind until she couldn’t take it any more”.
A memorial walk has been planned for April, 8, which will see campaigners walk from Caversham Primary School to Reading town centre.
Ofsted has also removed references to Ms Perry's death from its final report on the primary school.
In the original copy, it said: “There has been a change of leadership at the school following the death of the headteacher who was in post at the time of the inspection.”
According to the Telegraph, changes were made due to the "sensitivities around Ms Perry’s death."
The inspection Ms Perrys' primary school was found to be Good in every category apart from leadership and management,
The school was also accused of poor record-keeping and failings in employment checks which could have put pupils at risk.
Inspectors informed staff they witnessed a boy performing a popular social media dance, which they deemed as evidence of the sexualisation of pupils, the BBC reported.
It was also alleged that they reported witnessing child-on-child abuse, despite Ms Perry’s belief that this was simply a playground scuffle.
The tragedy has led other schools to refuse Ofsted inspections, including Flora Cooper, executive headteacher at John Rankin Infant and Nursery School in Berkshire.
The headteacher said she planned to boycott her Ofsted procedure in protest over the death of Ms Perry, though it was later reported the inspection went ahead.
Headteachers around the country are also said to be planning to stage protests and wear black clothing and armbands and display photographs of Ms Perry around their schools when Ofsted comes to visit.
Other schools have also begun removing logos and references to Ofsted ratings from their websites.
Lisa Telling, executive headteacher of Katesgrove Primary School and Southcote Primary School in Reading, has removed Ofsted references from her school's websites.
Emmer Green Primary School in Reading, which has an outstanding rating from Ofsted, has also removed the watchdog's logo from its website, letterhead and communications in solidarity.
Ofsted's regional director for the South East, Matthew Purves, has said he is deeply saddened by the news of Ms Perry's death
He said: 'We were deeply saddened by Ruth Perry's tragic death.
"Our thoughts remain with Mrs Perry's family, friends and everyone in the Caversham Primary School community."
