Ofsted urged to pause inspections after teacher suicide
Education unions have called for Ofsted inspections to be paused in the wake of the death of a head teacher.
"It cannot be right that we treat dedicated professions in this way. Something has to change. Whilst it should never take a tragedy like this to prompt action, this has to be a watershed moment. Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, called for "an immediate review" and urged the inspectorate to consider replacing the current system of "graded judgements which reduce everything that a school or college does to a single blunt descriptor".
In the report, seen by the BBC but not published on the Ofsted website, leaders were described as having a "weak understanding of safeguarding requirements and procedures". "We offer our deep condolences to the family and friends of Ruth Perry following her tragic death and are continuing to provide support to Caversham Primary School at this difficult time."A spokesperson said: "We would ask people not to do so as this will have a detrimental impact on pupils and disrupt the start of their school day.The school inspectors who work for Ofsted have the legal right to enter schools and ask for any documents they wish.
