The education secretary has agreed to meet with the family of a head teacher who took her own life ahead of the release of an Ofsted inspection report.

Ruth Perry knew the report would rate her primary school as inadequate when she died in January.

Her family has blamed her death on the pressure and outcome of the inspection at Caversham Primary in Reading.

The meeting follows a request in parliament by Reading East MP Matt Rodda on Monday.

He said: "I am pleased the education secretary has agreed to meet me, local heads and Ruth's family."
