Head teachers in England should stop serving as Ofsted inspectors, says sister of head who took her own life after inspection
In an emotional address at the National Association of Head Teachers conference, Prof Waters said a "terrible injustice" had been done to her sister, and she would not "give up until Ofsted is radically reformed".
"The injustice of that one-word judgement destroyed Ruth's career, her world and her sense of self," Prof Waters said. The NAHT also passed an emergency motion asking members to "consider refraining from carrying out inspections".Ruth Perry, who took her own life in January, had been waiting for an Ofsted report rating her school as "inadequate"that Ofsted inspections should be paused, so that an independent inquiry into what happened at Ms Perry's school, in Reading, could take place - as well as a review of the culture of inspections at Ofsted.
She said the inspection team had "worked with the professionalism and sensitivity that I would expect".
