Teachers are being asked to chip in £1 each to fund a legal challenge against Ofsted amid a growing backlash against the watchdog following the suicide of a headteacher.
A group of school leaders, led by Tory Education Society Vice President John Bald, are crowdfunding "to gather evidence of Ofsted’s unfair practices and their devastating impact on schools."
Relations between teachers and the school inspections body have hit new lows since the death of headteacher Ruth Perry, who killed herself in January while waiting for an Ofsted report that downgraded her school from outstanding to inadequate.
