Nine in ten teachers have a 'negative' view of Ofsted following a backlash over the watchdog's role in the suicide of headteacher Ruth Perry, a new YouGov poll has found.
Ms Perry took her own life in January while awaiting the results of an Ofsted report for the Caversham Primary School in Reading.
The inspection, published in March, found Ms Perry's school to be 'good' in every category apart from leadership and management, where it was judged to be 'inadequate'.
The results of a new YouGov Teacher Track survey of more than a thousand teachers show that 67 per cent have a very unfavourable view of the schools inspection body and 23 per cent hold a somewhat unfavourable view.
The figures also show that 6 per cent have a somewhat favourable view and 1 per cent have a very favourable view.
