An Ofsted inspection contributed to the death of headteacher Ruth Perry, a coroner has ruled.
At an inquest in Reading this morning, coroner Heidi Connor recorded a verdict of “suicide, contributed to by an Ofsted inspection carried out in November 2022”.
She will also issue a regulation 28 report, setting out action that should be taken to prevent future deaths.
Conner said she hoped her investigation, conclusions and regulation 28 report “will be used by the parliamentary inquiry process to review how school inspection should work going forward”.
