Unions are calling for urgent reform of the inspection system after headteacher Ms Perry took her own life while waiting for a negative report
Schools are removing logos and references to Ofsted ratings from their websites as a mark of solidarity with headteacher Ruth Perry, who took her own life while waiting for a negative inspection report.
In a letter to Ofsted on Wednesday, school and college leaders across Reading said they wanted the “terrible tragedy to mark a turning point” in the way school inspections are carried out by the watchdog. Ms Telling said many schools leaders across Reading were planning to remove positive quotes from Ofsted reports from their websites.
Professor Julia Waters, Ms Perry’s sister, said the watchdog’s report was “deeply harmful” in its “implied focus on one individual”. On Wednesday, Reading Borough Council called on the watchdog to pause inspections while a review is carried out into the system.
