Ruth Perry inquest: Ofsted inspection ‘likely’ contributed to headteacher’s death, says coroner

AN Ofsted inspection “likely contributed” to the death of headteacher Ruth Perry, senior coroner Heidi Connor has told an inquest in Reading.

Ruth Perry’s family say she took her own life after a report from the watchdog downgraded her Caversham Primary School in Reading from its highest rating to its lowest over safeguarding concerns.
