Headteacher Ruth Perry’s inquest will not examine whether the state failed to protect her prior to her tragic death.
Senior coroner Heidi Connor has decided not to hold an “enhanced” article 2 investigation – instead opting for one that will not apportion blame.
Despite this, she revealed this afternoon that the conduct of Ofsted inspectors during a two-day visit to Perry’s school, Caversham Primary in Berkshire, last November could be considered, depending on the evidence presented.
The headteacher’s family previously stated that 53-year-old took her own life in January before the publication of a report penned by the watchdog rating the school ‘inadequate’.
