The NAHT school leaders’ union has threatened a judicial review of Ofsted’s refusal to pause inspections following the death of Ruth Perry.
Unions had argued for the period after news of the headteacher’s death to be used to review the impact of the system on staff wellbeing.
Perry’s family said she had taken her own life in January before the publication of an inspection report rating Caversham primary school in Berkshire ‘inadequate’.
But Ofsted chief inspector Amanda Spielman last week rebuffed calls for a pause.
