The sister of a head teacher who killed herself after an Ofsted inspection says "urgent action" to change the system is being considered by the government.
Ruth Perry died in January ahead of the release of a report that downgraded her school in Caversham, Berkshire, from outstanding to inadequate.
Her sister, Prof Julia Waters, met the education secretary on Wednesday.
She said she was pleased with Gillian Keegan's "willingness to listen" about possible reforms.
The Ofsted inspection for Ms Perry's school was published in March and found it to be "good" in every category apart from leadership and management, where it was judged to be "inadequate".
The 53-year-old's death has fuelled a campaign by unions for the system to be changed.
Prof Waters said: "Ruth's death has left an aching, unfillable hole in the lives of her family, and the lives of so many others.
