The sister of headteacher Ruth Perry will warn “delays and obfuscation” to Ofsted reform will “put more lives at risk”, as she implores union activists to push for improvements not the abolition of inspection.
Professor Julia Waters will tell the National Education Union annual conference in Bournemouth she is “worried that the people who could bring about real change might only be paying lip service to the lessons we must learn”.
It comes after the conference passed a motion in favour of abolishing Ofsted.
A coroner ruled in December that an Ofsted inspection of Caversham Primary School in Reading contributed to Perry’s suicide.
