Ofsted inspections will resume from January 22 after they were paused so inspectors could undergo mental health awareness training in wake of Ruth Perry’s death.
Chief inspector Sir Martyn Oliver also said Ofsted will respond in full to the senior coroner Heidi Connor’s recommendations from Perry’s inquest on January 19.
The coroner last month ruled an Ofsted inspection in November 2022 contributed to the death by suicide of headteacher Ruth Perry in January last year.
The leaders of unions the Association of School and College Leaders and the National Association of Head Teachers and Leora Cruddas, chief executive of the Confederation of School Trusts, will “provide constructive challenge as Ofsted responds to the coroner’s recommendations”.
