An Ofsted inspection at a Berkshire school will go ahead today, despite its leader saying she would refuse inspectors entry.

Flora Cooper (pictured above), executive headteacher at John Rankin Infant and Nursery School had originally called on other headteachers who want Ofsted reform to join the protest.

But yesterday afternoon, she asked them not to turn up. “I have to protect our children, our staff and our community,” she wrote on Twitter.

West Berkshire Council has now confirmed the inspection will go ahead “following discussions between the parties involved”.
